Areas most at risk include Rivers Eamont and Lowther to their confluence with the River Eden at Langwathby. As a result of rainfall and forecasted rainfall, river levels will continue to rise tonight and through the morning.

Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Refer to local authority website for road closures.

We are closely monitoring rainfall and river levels, clearing debris from weed screens and closing locks and floodgates where needed.

This message will be updated by 10:00 AM tomorrow morning Friday 19/09/2025, or as the situation changes.
