Groundwater levels remain high, but with a more settled weather forecast for the next few days, levels should start to plateau and recede. Levels are still reactive to further rainfall. Areas at risk include; areas around the Till, the Chitterne Valley and the Wylye Valley. 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 3 PM on 21/1/2025, or as the situation changes.
