  1. 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) as river levels and water levels on the moors allow, after the overnight rainfall.
    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.
    Saturday is forecast to be largely dry with scattered showers expected this evening and overnight into Sunday. Further showers should clear to the East on Sunday afternoon. Monday is expected to be largely dry and more settled.
    We are closely monitoring the weather and water level situation. Our Field Teams are operating structures, pumps and clearing debris screens.

An area with no warnings on record can still flood.
