Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels today may lead to flooding. Flooding is possible on 12 February 2026 and throughout this week. River levels at the Fosseway, Brokenborough, Great Somerford and Dauntsey gauges remain high but are currently falling. Rainfall today may cause levels to increase again. Flooding is forecast to affect locations near the Bristol Avon, Tetbury Avon, Sherston Avon, Dauntsey Brook, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around low lying areas in Tetbury, Badminton, Brook End at Luckington, Corsham, Lacock and the road at Reybridge. Further rainfall is forecast tomorrow and through the weekend so river levels may rise again in response. We are closely monitoring the situation and will issue further alerts and warnings if required. Please avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses. This message will be updated by 12:00PM on 13 February 2026 or as the situation changes.
