Property flooding is not currently expected.
River levels are high but now falling along much of the Upper Kennet catchment. However, flooding of roads and low lying land is expected to continue today (29/01/25), particularly in the Hungerford area. The forecast is for a dry day today (29/01/2025). We expect river levels to remain high over the next few days.
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.
