Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels on Wednesday may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on 11 February 2026 due to above average rainfall in January and February.
River levels remain high from rainfall experienced over the last few weeks, and due to high and rising groundwater levels. More rain is forecast tomorrow Wednesday 11 February, until the early hours of Thursday morning. Flooding is affecting roads through East Meon, West Meon including Lynch Lane, Shoe Lane and Church Lane, Exton and Bucks Head Hill at Meonstoke. The river may flood gardens and the Millennium Water Meadows at Wickham. Only a small amount of rain is forecast later this week and into the weekend, but weather conditions remain unsettled. River levels may not fall for a few weeks.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will ensure the river is kept free of reported blockages.
Consider activating any flood protection products you may have particularly properties close to the river, or with pumps for groundwater.
This message will be updated by 6:00PM on 13 February 2026 or as the situation changes.
