Areas affected: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice
ACTIVE
Started at: 15:19 GMT on Tue 27 February
Flooding is expected - immediate action required
Levels remain high in the River Nene as the water makes its way down the system. During periods of high tide, the River Nene will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions. This is likely to lead to localised flooding of the North Bank Road, between Peterborough and Rings End. Whilst the Flood Warning is in force, the Local Authority will close North Bank Road. Diversionary routes will be put in place, and further updates will be available through local media. We are closely monitoring the situation and this message will be updated by 15:00 on 28/02/2024, or before, if the situation changes.

Property flooding is not currently expected. River levels are forecast to rise on the River Thames at Kingston as a result of high tides coinciding with high flows from upstream. The next high tide at 5pm this afternoon 27/02/24 is forecast to reach between 5.03 and 5.33 metres therefore the river is expected to overtop banks and flood low lying land. The next tide at 5am 28/02/24 is forecast to reach between 5.03 and 5.33 metres, therefore the river is again expected to overtop banks and flood low lying land. The forecast today is for it to be mostly dry. We expect river levels to remain high over the next few days as the river will be sensitive to further rainfall. Go to the 'River and Sea levels in England' webpage for current river levels. This message will be updated tomorrow, 28/02/24, or as the situation changes.

Groundwater levels are high but stable at our Farringdon borehole near Alton.

The catchment remains sensitive to rainfall due to the saturated ground and levels may start to increase again if we receive further rainfall. Low-lying land, gardens, roads and cellars will therefore continue to be at risk of flooding. Due to the nature of groundwater behaviour, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer.

Flooding is possible - be prepared
The River Lavant is high, following above average rainfall in February. Minor flood impacts will continue to affect fields, rural roads and gardens between West Dean and Westhampnett. In East Lavant, water may affect Sheepwash Lane, Pook Lane and the Green, and possibly access bridges across the river. In Westhampnett and Chichester City Centre, the river is higher than normal, but only minimal flood impacts are expected. With groundwater rising upstream, the River Lavant will rise a few centimetres this week. Drizzle Tuesday and Wednesday, bands of rain Thursday and Friday, and showers Saturday could raise river levels another 10-20cm by Sunday 03/03/2024. River levels will remain higher than normal, and sensitive to further periods of rain until at least mid March. Plan to avoid driving through routes vulnerable to flooding including Sheepwash Lane. If you see a blockage affecting the flow in the river, please call our incident hotline on 0800 80 70 60. We are managing structures in Westhampnett to reduce the flood risk.

About UK Flood Warnings

Warning services for areas at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea are provided by the Environment Agency (EA) for England, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) for Wales and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).

BBC Weather works closely with its partners to raise awareness of weather events affecting Northern Ireland which may result in flooding. Specific flood warnings, however, are not currently issued for Northern Ireland.
