Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Overnight into Thursday we have seen consistent heavy rainfall across the area. This has caused rivers and streams to rise.
There is likely to be flooding to low lying land and roads close to the river throughout the day on Thursday. Flooding from surface water, where water gathers and flows off road surfaces, could also occur. High river levels are likely in Chipping, Buntingford, Braughing, Standon, Barwick, Wadesmill and Hertford
We expect the river to remain high today as further rain is forecast during the day. We are closely monitoring the situation and property flooding is not currently expected You should avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.
We are constantly monitoring river levels and have staff on standby to attend to any blockages in the river.
This message will be updated this afternoon or earlier if the situation changes.
