Flood Alert issued on 15 Dec 2023 08:28
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.

River Aire
This Flood Alert remains in force as the Lower Aire Washlands are mostly full and flooding continues to affect communities. Roads are affected in the area. The River Aire rose slightly due to last night’s rain, 29/02/20, but not to levels which would see further water enter the washlands. Peak tides are falling until Thursday but will continue to combine with high river levels to slow the drain of washlands, keeping levels high into next week. Significant draining of washlands will only occur once river levels drop enough. Scattered showers are forecast for the next few days, and we do not expect this to cause more water to enter the washlands from the river.
We are pumping water to support washland draining and have deployed sandbags to help protect properties at risk. Check routes before you travel and do not drive through floodwater.

Flood Alert issued on 13 Feb 2020 04:55
River Aire
Water levels in West Marsh and Hirst Courtney wash-lands remain high despite falling levels in the River Aire upstream. Higher spring tides in recent days have held back the flood water but these will fall after this morning’s high tide.
This warning will remain in force until levels have reduced and the risk has passed. Further rainfall, particularly in upland, Pennine areas is forecast for 15-16 February and we will continually review our forecasts and impacts on the lower River Aire before it arrives. Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and do not walk or drive through fast moving water. Our incident response staff are closely monitoring the situation from our incident room. Please see GOV.UK for a 5 day flood forecast, and for weather forecasts, see the Met Office. This message will be updated by midday, 13/02/20, or as the situation changes.

River Aire
Water levels in the River Aire between Temple Hirst and Goole remain high. Although the river upstream of tidal influence is falling, higher spring tides in recent days have held back the flood water, keeping levels in the wash-lands high, but these are likely to fall for the remainder of this week. Flooding of low-lying roads and land remains possible and a flood warning remains in force for Hirst Marsh and West Marsh. Further rainfall, particularly in upland, Pennine areas is forecast for 15/02/2020 and 16/02/2020, we will continually review our forecasts before it arrives. Please take care near rivers in the area and stay away from riverbanks as levels remain high. Low-lying land around the river will continue to be affected by standing water. Our Leeds incident room is open and will remain so through the weekend. This message will be updated by 04:30, 13/02/2020, or as the situation changes.
