Flooding is possible for:
River Nene between Wansford and the Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice to the East of Peterborough.
Be prepared.
Heavy rainfall has fallen onto saturated ground over the past few days in the Lower Nene catchment area. This has caused river levels to rise, leading to flooding of low lying land and roads close to rivers. Further heavy rainfall is forecast today, Tuesday 2nd January, so we expect rivers to remain high throughout the next few days. Flooding to gardens, driveways or outhouses is possible close to the river. Our forecasts indicate that flooding inside properties is possible and therefore flood warnings may be expected to be issued. We are constantly monitoring river levels and have staff in the field checking for blockages and clearing weedscreens.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
This message will be updated online and on Floodline by 16:00 on 03/01/2024, or before if the situation changes.
