High river levels are expected to cause flooding this evening. 

Flooding is expected from overnight on 16 December 2025 . 

River levels are high and rising on the Lower Frome due to the recent heavy rainfall. We expect flooding to affect locations near the Lower Dorset Frome, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around areas in Dorchester, West Stafford, Bockhampton, Lewell, Tincleton, Pallington, Waddock, Moreton, Wool and East Stoke. Further rain is forecast for Wednesday and Thursday keeping levels high. 

We are closely monitoring the situation . 

Start acting on your flood plan if you have one . Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water 

This message will be updated by 4:30PM on 17 December 2025 or as the situation changes.
