Forecast rising river levels overnight may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible from the early hours of 26 June 2026 .
Areas most at risk are low-lying roads and land around the brooks in Leicester City, including recreational land where water depths could become hazardous. Areas particularly at risk include those around the Braunstone Brook, Lubbesthorpe Brook, Melton Brook, Saffron Brook, Willow Brook, Bushby Brook, Evington Brook, Thurnby Brook and Scraptoft Brook. Thunderstorms are forecast over the next 12 hours, with low confidence over timing and locations. River levels may rise rapidly due to the nature of the catchments.
We are closely monitoring the situation .
Consider activating any flood protection products you may have & monitor local water levels and weather conditions.
