Floodwater is reducing but a considerable amount of water remains on the Somerset Levels and Moors. The low-lying roads and land adjacent to the River Yeo are still affected.
We are utilising the Parrett Relief Channel to manage levels in the River Parrett and operating as many pumps as possible as river and water levels on the moors allow.
Saturday forecast to be mostly dry with periods of rain to migrate northwards. Sunday forecast for heavy morning rain that fades during the day, leading to a drier evening. A frontal system is moving to the area on Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning, bringing more unsettled conditions.
We are closely monitoring the situation, and our Field Teams are operating structures and pumps.
Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Don’t put yourself or others at risk.
