Flood Warning issued on 26 Dec 2020 19:40
River Aller
River levels are forecast to rise above Flood Warning threshold as a result of the overnight heavy rain brought by Storm Bella.
Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is expected in the early hours of 27/12/20, and riverside properties are at risk too: such as property at Lower Allerford, Piles Mill and Higher Allerford road.
Given the heavy rain forecast over the next few hours, peak river levels are expected between 03:00 and 04:00, resulting in high flows similar to Wednesday, 23/12/20.
Our incident response staff have been out clearing weed screens and we are closely monitoring the situation.
Please consider installing property flood resilience equipment and other flood plan measures, including avoiding low lying roads near rivers which may be flooded.
