River levels remain high on Friday 30th January and are expected to respond to forecasted rainfall. Flooding is possible as a result. Areas most at risk include locations near the River Tone, Hillfarrance Brook and Halsewater Stream. Low lying land and roads are expected to be most affected, particularly areas and roads around Hillfarrance, Bradford on Tone, Lane End Road at Ham and the Creech St Michael to Henlade road. Further rain is forecast throughout Friday and Saturday. Rainfall will mainly be light but there is the potential for periods of heavier downpours and blustery conditions. We are closely monitoring the situation and Field Teams are out clearing debris screens and checking rivers for blockages. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Remain aware of local water levels and weather conditions and don’t put yourself or others at risk. This message will be updated by 1PM on 31/01/2026, or as the situation changes.
