Property flooding is expected.
River levels are continuing to steadily rise on the River Thames as a result of heavy rainfall and water moving downstream. Therefore, flooding of property is imminent, especially in areas closest the river around Wolvercote.
No further rainfall is forecast over the next 24 hours, however we expect river levels to continue to steadily climb through much of today (25/12/20) before levelling off. Levels are not expected to reach as high as in July 2007.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are operating weirs to reduce flood risk.
Please activate any property flood protection products you may have, such as flood barriers and air brick covers and avoid contact with flood water.
This message will be updated this evening, 25/12/20, or as the situation changes.
