Flood warning

The River Yeo level at Huish Episcopi is currently 8.14m and stable. The drain level at Huish Episcopi is 8.00m and gradually falling.
Flooding affects the Langport to Muchelney road when this drain level exceeds 7.30m, the Muchelney to Long Load road above 7.86m, the Muchelney to Thorney road above 7.93m and the Muchelney to Drayton road above 8.80m. For the latest river and drain levels refer to https://check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/river-and-sea-levels.
We are utilising the Parrett Relief Channel downstream of this alert area and pumping at Long Load, Huish Episcopi and Westover pumping stations, operating as river and water levels on the moors allow.
Tuesday is forecast to be largely dry and the weather is expected to be more settled until the weekend.
As property flooding is expected above 8.35m, we have officers in the area today reviewing the situation and whether this Flood Warning can be removed now (but with the Alert remaining).
Avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.
This message will be updated by 1pm on 04/03/2026 or as the situation changes.
