  26. Flood alert Lower River Ems Hampshire, West SussexRiver Ems
    Message

    The River Ems is high following weeks of rain.

    Minor flood impacts affecting fields, Brook Meadows, rural roads, and gardens will continue. Very little rain is forecast Thursday but river levels will not fall far. More rain is forecast on Friday from 00:00 to 06:00 (5-10mm). River levels will rise a small amount, and only minimal flood impacts are expected. However, a less likely scenario suggests 20mm of rain could be possible, which may cause more garden flooding Friday morning. River levels will remain higher than normal for weeks. Unsettled weather could continue throughout February, and therefore further periods of flood risk are possible.

    We are closely monitoring the situation, operating our structure at Constant Springs, and clearing debris screens.

    Consider activating any flood protection products you may have in Westbourne and Emsworth, flooding may occur quickly.

The history is the Environment Agency’s record of every warning raised since 2006, which it publishes each quarter, joined to the warnings we have recorded live since. 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.
