Flooding expected. Take action now.

Flood warning

The recent heavy rain has passed through the area but the River Yeo is still high due to the very wet catchments and flows still coming down the river system. The River Yeo remains above the Warning level in this area. Flooding is still possible this evening and overnight, Tuesday 09 December 2025, and into early Wednesday. Locations at risk are near the River Yeo, with low lying land and roads most affected, particularly around South Street, Ludborne Road and Sherborne Sewage Treatment Works and the Mole Valley Farmers area on the Sherborne Road near Yeovil. Drier weather is forecast on Wednesday and Thursday, though another band of rain is forecast on Thursday night into early Friday, which may bring further impacts. We are monitoring rainfall and river levels. We are checking defences and clearing bridges, culverts and screens. Move family, pets and cars to safety and turn off gas, electricity and water if it is safe to do so. Refer to the local authority website for road closures. This message will be updated by 12:00PM on 10 December 2025 or as the situation changes.
