The River Yeo and Drain level at Huish Episcopi Pumping Station have risen because of the heavy rainfall.
Further rain is forecast, so the risk remains throughout today.
Flooding will affect the road from Langport to Muchelney if flood levels exceed 7.30 m, the road from Muchelney to Long Load above 7.86 m, and the road from Muchelney to Thorney above 7.93 m.
We shall pump as and when water levels allow, to evacuate water from the Moors.
We are monitoring the situation and continue to check the condition of flood banks, spillways and weed screens.
Monitor local water levels and weather conditions. Consider putting your flood plan into action. You should avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.
For the latest water levels on the rivers and drains, please refer to gauges part of our website: check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/river-and-sea-levels .
Please refer to @TravelSomerset for information on local road closures.
This message will be updated by 13:00 on 5/12/23, or as the situation changes.
