Flood Alert in force: Lower Nene.
Flooding is possible for: River Nene between Wansford and the Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice to the east of Peterborough.
Be prepared.
Over the last 24 hours we have seen heavy rainfall in the Lower River Nene area. This means that the River Nene is now rising, which will lead to flooding of low lying land and roads close to the river from the morning of Friday, 15th January onwards. We expect the river to remain high throughout the next few days. Our forecasts indicate that flooding to properties is possible and therefore flood warnings are expected to be issued. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. We are constantly monitoring river levels, and have staff in the field checking for blockages and clearing weedscreens.
This message will be updated tomorrow, Saturday, 16th January, or as the situation changes.
