Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels may lead to flooding.
River levels are high on the River Thames and other watercourses in the Oxford area. Flooding of low lying land and roads is expected to continue today, 12 February 2026. Further rain is forecast over the next 24 hours, which has the potential to be heavy at times. River levels in Oxford have stabilised overnight, but will remain high over the coming days. River levels may rise again over the coming days in response to forecasted rainfall and high river levels upstream.
We are monitoring rainfall and river levels. Avoid low lying footpaths and roads near rivers, which may be flooded. Go to River Levels online for updates on current river levels.
