Flooding possible. Be prepared.
The water level in the Tilmore Brook through central Petersfield is high and rising. In the last 4 hours, 27mm of rain has been recorded in Petersfield. This is a large volume in a short period of time. Over the next 30 minutes, it is likely that the river will reach bankfull and that road flooding could be experienced in Petersfield. The river may also come out of bank at Merritts Meadow. The heaviest rain will clear the area by 18:00 this evening (04/01/2024), with some light showers forecast overnight. Once the heavy rainfall has passed in the next hour, water levels should begin to recover and begin to lower to normal. It is still possible a Flood Warning might be issued for onset of property flooding directly from the river. Our operational staff will work to keep the river clear of blockages, so the river can flow freely. We continue to monitor the forecast. River channels will contain deep and fast flowing water. Residents should remain prepared for flooding. This Flood Alert will be updated by 12:00 on Friday 05/01/2024 or sooner if we think property flooding will occur.
