The River Tone level at Currymoor pumping station is currently 7.64m. Water will enter Currymoor via Hookbridge spillway whilst this level exceeds 7.45m. The drain level at Currymoor pumping station is 7.69m. Cutts Road and New Road are closed. Athelney spillway is running and the A361 is also closed.
For road closure information please refer to www.somerset.gov.uk/roads-travel-and-parking/emergency-road-closure-gates/
We are pumping at Northmoor and Saltmoor and are deploying temporary pumps to Northmoor pumping station. The River Tone level is currently too high for pumping at Currymoor. We will commence pumping at Currymoor and operate the Parrett Relief Channel once river levels allow.
Monday morning will be dry, however a period of heavy and persistent rain is forecast from mid-afternoon onwards. This will continue overnight and into Tuesday morning. We are monitoring the situation closely and staff are checking flood banks and spillways. Please do not walk, cycle or drive through flood water.
This message will be updated by 1PM on 27/01/2026, or as the situation changes.
