Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Floodwater is reducing but a considerable amount of water remains on the Somerset Levels and Moors. The low-lying roads and land adjacent to the River Yeo are still affected.
We are utilising the Parrett Relief Channel to manage levels in the River Parrett and operating as many pumps as possible as river and water levels on the moors allow.
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.
This message will be updated by 1pm on 9 March 2026.
