Rising river levels today may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on 13 March 2026 .
Locations most affected will be low lying land and roads near the River Yeo at Sherborne Lake. Following the overnight rainfall, the water levels in Sherborne Lake have risen and isolated flooding around the area may occur.
