  1. Flood alert Groundwater flooding in upper River Ems Valley West SussexGroundwater
    Message

    Groundwater is high, very close to the surface, but slowly falling at the Compton borehole. Springs will continue to appear, water will be in fields, and water will flow down roads, including Stoughton main road, the road from East Marden, between Cooks Lane and Barley Mow in Walderton, and the B2146 near Woodlands Lane. Groundwater will also affect a small number of cellars in Stoughton and Walderton. Only small amounts of rain are forecast over the five days to 06/03/2026, and groundwater at Compton borehole will continue to slowly fall over the coming week. There is a suggestion that high pressure, settled conditions, and only small amounts of rain could continue in the south east of England through the first half of March 2026. Which would allow groundwater to fall for longer. However, with groundwater so high, groundwater flood impacts are still likely to continue until at least the middle of March. Take care on roads that flood (Stoughton, Walderton). Ensure pumps work. We will update this message by 18:00 06/03/2026.

  29. Flood alert Groundwater flooding in Littleton, Headbourne, Kings and Martyr Worthy, Easton and Chilland HampshireGroundwater
    Message

    Groundwater levels at the borehole in Harestock are high but slowly falling. In the last week, the level has fallen by 70cm.

    Flooding is affecting Springvale Road in Kings Worthy. In Martyr Worthy, Chilland and Easton drainage ditches and culverts will become full and less effective as natural flow paths are restricted. Some properties may be affected as water seeps up through floors. Footpaths near the river will also be inaccessible. From Monday 02/03/2026 to Friday 06/03/2026, mostly dry weather is forecast. Groundwater levels will continue to fall for the next week.

    We are closely monitoring the situation.

    Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed.

  31. Flood alert River Yeo and Parrett, The Levels SomersetRiver Yeo, River Parrett, Kings Sedgemoor Drain, River Sowy
    Message

    A considerable amount of water remains on the Somerset Levels and Moors. Flooding is still affecting the low-lying moors near the Rivers Yeo, Parrett, Sowy and Kings Sedgemoor Drain.
    We are maximising use of the River Sowy (Parrett Relief Channel) to drain down upstream moors, as river levels and water levels allow.
    Pumping stations are operating around Langport and temporary pumps over-pump at Dunball sluices during high tide, when water cannot gravitate into the River Parrett.
    Monday is expected to be largely dry and the weather is forecast to be more settled until Thursday.
    We are closely monitoring the situation, and our Field Teams are operating structures and pumps.
    Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Don’t put yourself or others at risk.

Each count is one warning or alert raised for one area; a warning that was later updated counts once. When a warning is removed that is not counted as a new warning. An area with no warnings on record can still flood.
