Hello all
Here is the information on the 4 Alert areas:
Flood alert for North Somerset area
Updated 1:36pm on 6 December 2023
River levels have fallen in the River Yeo catchment, but the risk of flooding remains. Areas most at risk are locations near the Congresbury Yeo, with low lying land expected to be most affected, particularly around roads at Wrington and Iwood. Heavy rainfall is forecast this evening, 06/12/2023, into tomorrow. This is likely to cause the rivers to rise again in response. The weather remains unsettled with further heavy rain possible over the weekend. We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and will issue flood warnings if necessary. Please consider local water levels, weather conditions and your flood plan if you have one. Avoid using low lying footpaths, roads and any bridges near local watercourses and do not attempt to walk or drive through flood water. This message will be updated by 3:00 PM on 07/12/2023, or as the situation changes.
Flood alert area: Rivers in North Somerset including Congresbury Yeo, Cheddar Yeo, Axe and tributaries.
