Flooding expected. Take action now.
Rising river levels along the River Thames are expected to cause flooding today.
Flooding is expected on 12 February 2026.
Flooding of property and roads is expected today, especially in the Basmore Lane, Bolney Road and Loddon Drive areas and surrounding Lower Shiplake and Wargrave areas. Further rainfall is forecast over the next 24 hours. We expect river levels to continue to rise slowly. Levels will remain high over the next few days.
We are closely monitoring the situation. We are liaising with emergency services and local authorities.
Stay away from flood water - it contains hidden dangers such as open man hole covers, sewage and chemicals. Don't put yourself or others at risk.
