The River Yeo level at Huish Episcopi pumping station is 7.80m and steady. The river will remain high while it receives water pumped off the moors. The drain level at Huish Episcopi pumping station is 7.85m and falling slowly.

Some patchy rain is forecast from this evening into tomorrow, with dry conditions forecast from Sunday.
