We are utilising the Parrett Relief Channel downstream of this alert area and pumping at Long Load, Huish Episcopi and Westover pumping stations, operating as river and water levels on the moors allow.
Tuesday is forecast to be largely dry and the weather is expected to be more settled until the weekend.
We have officers in the area today reviewing the situation.
Avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. This message will be updated by 1pm on 04/03/2026 or as the situation changes.
