Flood Warning: Lower Avon and tributaries

Message Last Updated:

This is a flood alert update. River levels remain steady but still higher than normal in the Lower Avon and responsive to further rainfall. Flooding is still possible. Areas most at risk include the tributaries between Ringwood and Christchurch. Flooding is possible with low lying land and roads near rivers particularly around Ringwood Old Cottage most affected. The forecast is for unsettled weather in the next few days. We will continue to monitor the situation. Please avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses, and do not attempt to walk, cycle or drive through flood water. Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car. Check local authority websites for road closures. This message will be updated by 11:00 AM on Sunday 15 March 2026 or as the situation changes.
