We have been carrying out inspections of our flood defence assets following the high water levels. The high water mark is clearly visible on this floodgate in Upton-upon-Severn. We also inspected flood defence outfalls along the River Severn between Tewkesbury and Gloucester.

Heading out this evening? Further rain is expected in places, heavy for a time across the southwest of England ⚠️

Over the past 24 hours, #Somerset has experienced moderate to high rainfall. A Met Office Yellow Weather Warning for rain is in place. We continue to operate our assets including additional pumps, and staff are on duty 24 hours a day, monitoring conditions and maximising pumping

How much rain have we had so far? The opening weeks of 2026 have been exceptionally wet across the UK. Find out more in our latest blog post metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2026/how-…

Feel like the rain hasn’t stopped? ☔ For some places, it really hasn’t! 😦 North Wyke, Cardinham and Astwood Bank have recorded rain every single day so far this year 🌧️

On Friday we were on site at the Fowlea Brook flood risk management scheme in Stoke-on-Trent for the official opening ceremony. Charlie Chandler, Area Flood Risk Manager for the West Midlands, explains the scheme and the benefits👇 Further details: gov.uk/government/new…
