Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Floodwater is reducing but a considerable amount of water remains on the Somerset Levels and Moors. Flooding is still affecting the low-lying moors near the Rivers Yeo, Parrett, Sowy and Kings Sedgemoor Drain.
We are maximising use of the River Sowy (Parrett Relief Channel) to drain the upstream moors, as river levels and water levels allow.
Pumping stations are operating around Langport and temporary pumps over-pump at Dunball sluices during high tides, when water cannot gravitate into the River Parrett.
Sunday and Monday begin largely grey and drizzly but brighten, clearing slowly throughout the day. Tuesday night sees a frontal band of rain and a return to unsettled rain and showers across the area, from the west.
We are closely monitoring the situation, and our Field Teams are operating structures and pumps.
Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Don’t put yourself or others at risk.
