Flooding is possible - be prepared
This message has been issued because some minor flooding to riverside roads and footpaths is likely from 6pm this afternoon, Saturday 21st December and for the next few days. High water levels may last for a few days, until the high tides and tidal surge at Great Yarmouth have passed. This is due to a natural tide locking effect, and tidal water moving up the rivers from Great Yarmouth is currently restricting the normal drainage of the Broads river system out to sea at low tide. We expect to see high water levels at Beccles Quay. The current series of high spring tides have peaked, although a tidal surge is restricting the river flows draining out to sea at low tide as normal. There is potential for further Flood Alerts and Flood Warnings to be issued over the next 24 hours. Take care on waterside roads and footpaths, and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. We are closely monitoring the situation. We will update this message by 10am tomorrow, Sunday 22nd December.

Groundwater levels have responded to high effective rainfall during the Autumn, and have risen to very high levels at our observation borehole at River Hill, close to Flamstead. Groundwater levels are unusually high for this time of year and have now reached a level where communities are at risk of being affected by flooding from groundwater.
We expect levels to remain high over the coming months in response to the high Autumn rainfall. Low lying land and roads such as those in the Trowley Bottom area near Flamstead will therefore be at risk of flooding.
Due to the nature of groundwater behaviour, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer. We are continuing to monitor groundwater levels and will update this message on Tuesday 31 December or as the situation changes.

Groundwater levels have responded to high effective rainfall during the Autumn, and have risen to high levels at our observation borehole at Lilley Bottom. This rise is from levels which were already high from the previous Winter. Levels are unusually high for this time of year and have now reached a level where communities in the Kimpton and Lilley Bottom area are at risk of being affected by flooding from groundwater.
We expect levels to remain high over the coming months in response to the high Autumn rainfall. Low lying land and roads will therefore be at risk of flooding.

ACTIVE
Started at: 10:51 GMT on Tue 17 December
Flooding is possible - be prepared
In Preston Candover and Old Alresford, groundwater levels are high and rising slowly. In the last 3 months, prolonged, higher than average rainfall (353mm), has been recorded in Bishops Sutton. From Friday 20/12/2024, it is possible that rising groundwater will reduce the ability of septic tanks at Old Alresford to operate properly. In Preston Candover, a small number of properties may experience cellar flooding. Unsettled weather is expected to return to Hampshire from Wednesday 18/12/2024 into Thursday 19/12/2024 with between 15 and 35mm of rain possible. Following this rainfall, groundwater levels may begin to rise more rapidly. Friday 20/12/2024 and Saturday 21/12/2024 are expected to be mostly dry. We expect groundwater levels in Preston Candover and Old Alresford will likely continue rising for most of December in response to this week’s rain. We continue to monitor the groundwater levels and weather forecast. If you use pumps to help reduce water levels, please ensure that they can operate. This Flood Alert will be updated by 17:00 on Tuesday 24/12/2024.
