River Aire
The Tidal River Aire between Hirst Courtney and Airmyn remains high due to recent heavy rainfall across the catchment. Levels have been steadily falling through the week, however this process is now being slowed down by a sequence of spring tides. Levels remain high in a number of the washlands between Temple Hirst and Gowdall, resulting in flooding of farmland. With no further significant rain forecast over the next few days, levels should continue to fall each day, mainly around the low tide periods.
Due to amount of water in the washlands and the ongoing high river levels, this flood alert remains in force. Please stay away from flood embankments and do not walk or drive through flood water. This message will be updated by, 08:00 PM on 15/12/2023 or as the situation changes.
