High groundwater levels may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible from 01/02/2026 due to a wet January 2026.

Flooding could affect cellars in a small number of properties along Winchester Road, in central King's Somborne and in Little Somborne from Sunday 01/02/2026. However, the groundwater level may peak before these impacts occur. Small amounts of rain are forecast from today (30/01/2026) to Monday (02/02/2026).
