Flood Warning issued on 23 Feb 2022 21:00
River Aire
West Holme Washlands have stopped filling, however levels remain high and so the risk of flooding to properties continues. Despite ongoing unsettled weather, we are not expecting any large rainfall totals here, or higher up the catchment over the next couple of days. Consequently, the washlands should begin to slowly drain over the next few days. We continue to closely monitor the situation. To report flooding, please call our incident hotline on 0800 80 70 60. This message will be updated by 09:00, 24/02/2022 or as the situation changes.
