Flooding possible. Be prepared.
River levels are expected to remain high and flooding is possible throughout Thursday and overnight into Friday.
Flooding is forecast to affect locations and moors near the River Yeo, River Parrett, Kings Sedgemoor Drain and River Sowy, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected particularly around the road at the south end of Westover Trading Estate. There is also a risk of flooding to properties at Westover Trading Estate at Langport.
Further rain and unsettled conditions are forecast for the coming days and rivers are expected to respond to this. We continue to monitor rainfall and river levels closely, and Field Teams are out clearing debris screens and checking rivers for blockages.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths and bridges near local watercourses, and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. This message will be updated by 12 midday on the 23rd January 2026, or as the situation changes.
