River Leen, Day Brook and Tottle Brook in Nottinghamshire
Rising river levels today may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on Saturday 24 October from 18:00.
Areas most at risk are low-lying recreational areas and roads including High School playing fields on Valley Road and other low lying land and recreational areas, low lying land and roads around the Tottle Brook. Rainfall is forecast over the next 8 hours. River levels at Day Brook Gauge may rise rapidly due to the nature of the catchment.
We are closely monitoring the situation
Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.
This message will be updated by 10:30AM on Sunday 25 October or as the situation changes.

Under evaluation — not yet promoted, so treat as a second opinion.
None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of this gauge on the mapped river network. That is not the same as none: the map leaves out many small streams and culverts, so an overflow it cannot place may still drain here, and not every company publishes every overflow. Those nearby are listed below.
Nearby, connection not known

27 other overflows within 6 km are downstream of this gauge or on another branch of the river network, so they are not listed.
These are the water companies' monitor statuses; a spill does not by itself explain a change in the gauge level. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels. Sewage & storm overflows →
