Property flooding is not currently expected.
River levels have peaked on the River Ock in the Abingdon area and are now falling slowly. River levels further upstream are also falling and we expect this to continue throughout the day. However, flooding of roads and low lying land is expected to continue today (29/01/25) along the length of the river. Low-lying land around Charney Bassett and Abingdon is most at risk. The forecast is for a dry day today (29/01/2025).
We are monitoring the situation. Avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses. Go to the 'River and Sea levels in England' webpage for current river levels. Do not drive through flood water. This message will be updated by tomorrow morning, 30/01/25, or as the situation changes.
