Yesterday, 1.5 times monthly average rainfall was recorded in Bishop’s Waltham. This morning (Tuesday 13/07/21), the water level in the River Hamble remains high, but it is now falling. The river has lowered by more than a metre overnight, and the current rate of fall is 0.3m per hour. Today, the weather should remain fairly dry, with only the odd light shower forecast. This will not cause an increase in water level. Dry, warm weather is then expected for the next 5 days. Along the length of the River Hamble, significant residual flood impacts to land and some roads will continue over the next 12 hours. A Flood Alert will remain in force to cover these impacts. The situation will improve hour by hour, but the river is unlikely to return to a more typical level until later on this evening. We continue to monitor the forecast. If it is safe to do so, flood protection (if installed) could be removed this morning.
