River Kennet and its tributaries from Berwick Bassett down to Newbury

Property flooding is not currently expected. River levels are high but still within banks along most of the Upper Kennet and its tributaries. Further flooding of low lying land of roads is not expected today but remains possible and water will remain sitting in fields. The weather today is forecast to be mainly dry with some showers. Further rain is forecast for Sunday. We expect river levels to remain high and sensitive to further rainfall over the next few days. We are monitoring the situation. Avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses. Go to the 'River and Sea levels in England' webpage for current river levels. Do not drive through flood water. This message will be updated Sunday morning, 23/02/25, or as the situation changes.
