Flooding expected. Take action now.
The River Yeo level is 8.49m and falling slowly. The drain level at Huish Episcopi Pumping Station is 8.53m and steady. Flooding affects the Langport to Muchelney road when this drain level exceeds 7.3m, the Muchelney to Long Load road above 7.86m, the Muchelney to Thorney road above 7.93m and the Muchelney to Drayton road above 8.8m. Property flooding is possible above 8.35m. For the latest river and drain levels refer to https://check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/river-and-sea-levels. We are unable to pump due to high river levels but will start when conditions allow.
Thursday (12/02/26) will be a showery day. The outlook for Friday remains unsettled with further rain forecast. Saturday will be a predominantly dry day before unsettled conditions return on Sunday. Catchments are saturated and rivers very responsive to the forecast rainfall.
We continue to monitor the situation and check flood banks and spillways. Avoid driving through flood water. This message will be updated by 1pm on 13/02/26 or as the situation changes.
