River and lake levels are currently falling. However, further rainfall today Wednesday 17th December 2025 and overnight, on already wet ground conditions, will see levels rise again this afternoon and overnight.

Locations most affected will be low lying land and roads near the Upper Derwent from Seathwaite to Derwent Water.

We are closely monitoring the situation. Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses.
