  4. Flood alert

    Areas affected: Groundwater flooding in the West of Dorset

    ACTIVE

    Started at: 07:54 GMT on Wed 30 October

    Flooding is possible - be prepared

    Groundwater levels remain high in response to recent rainfall. Levels are expected to remain high and flooding of fields and roads is possible. Levels are reactive to further rainfall. No further rainfall is expected over the next few days.

    Flooding of roads and fields is possible. Where groundwater is near the surface, intense rainfall will lead to surface water flooding.

    Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.

    This message will be updated by 16:00 PM on 05/11/2024.
