Flood alert

River levels are rising on the Rivers Derwent, Team, Don and estuarine tributaries due to persistent rainfall.

Consequently, flooding of low lying roads, footpaths and farmland is possible from the afternoon of Thursday 7th December into Friday morning.

River levels will be elevated until the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Further rain is forecast on the morning of Saturday 9th December, which may cause river levels to rise again.

We will continue to monitor the forecast and will issue any flood warnings if required.

Take care near the areas of concern and monitor your local weather conditions.

Please avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses and do not attempt to walk or drive through flood water.

This message will be updated by 10:00 AM on 08/12/2023, or as the situation changes.
