River levels remain high at the Eathorpe river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall. Consequently, the risk of flooding remains. We expect flooding to affect low-lying land and roads adjacent to the River Leam between Grandborough and Leamington including Kites Hardwick, Birdingbury, Marton, Eathorpe, Hunningham and Offchurch and the River Itchen between Southam and Marton including Long Itchington.

No further significant rainfall is forecast and river levels are falling, but still pose a flood risk.

We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are actively checking river levels and the weather forecast.

Please avoid using low lying footpaths and bridges near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.

This message will be updated by 10:00 on 30/01/25, or as the situation changes.
