Flooding possible. Be prepared.
The river level on the Washford River at Beggearn Huish remains high and above the Flood Alert threshold. Flooding is possible as a result. Other rivers in the area have fallen but remain responsive to rainfall. Areas at risk include the Horner Water, River Aller, Washford River and the Hawkcombe, Monksilver and Doniford Streams and their tributaries, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected. Thursday (12/02/26) will be a showery day. The outlook for Friday remains unsettled with further rain forecast. Saturday will be a predominantly dry day before unsettled conditions return on Sunday. We are closely monitoring the situation and checking rivers for blockages. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Remain aware of local water levels and weather conditions and don’t put yourself or others at risk. This message will be updated by 1pm on 13 February 2026, or as the situation changes.
