Property flooding is no longer expected.
River levels are high but falling on the lower reaches of the River Kennet following recent rainfall. Flooding of roads and low-lying land is expected to continue today (29/01/25). Areas most at risk are those around Theale, Burghfield and Calcot.
The forecast is for a dry day today (29/01/2025). We expect river levels to continue to fall slowly through today.
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 tomorrow morning, 30/01/25, or as the situation changes.
