Flood Warning Info - River Fowey at Lostwithiel

Flooding is expected on the afternoon of Thursday 7th December, and into the evening. Heavy rain falling in the area over Thursday daytime has caused the River Fowey to rise, and the river is forecast to continue rising through the day. Properties and low-lying areas will start to flood first from around 3.30pm today. River levels will be at their highest between 4pm and 6pm. Flood waters may be deep and fast flowing in these areas. Residents are strongly urged to take action now. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings. We will be closely monitoring the situation throughout the day. This message will be updated by Friday morning, or earlier if the situation changes. Our staff are out in the area and will relay information and assist the emergency services and council.

Following overnight rain high river levels resulted in flooding of areas behind defences. While river levels are falling and will continue to fall throughout the day, ponding water trapped in low lying areas will drain slowly and remains a hazard. Please co-operate with Emergency Services who are supporting the communities in these areas. Localised showers are forecast for Saturday through Sunday. Further frontal rainfall is forecast overnight Sunday 20th into Monday 21st December. We are working with the Met Office and monitoring weather and river level forecasts and will update the situation on Sunday morning.
