Flood Alert Info - Car Brook catchment

Rising river levels throughout this morning, as a result of persistent rainfall from Storm Bert, may lead to flooding. Flooding of roads and low lying land is possible. Surface water flooding may be possible. Weather conditions are expected to improve later today, Sunday 24 November 2024, and no further significant rainfall is expected over the coming days. We are closely monitoring the situation and monitoring rainfall and river levels. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Areas most at risk are low lying land and roads near rivers. Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses. This message will be updated by 20:30 on Sunday 24 November 2024, or as the situation changes.

There are heavy localised showers in and around the Sheffield area. The showery weather is forecast to continue for a couple of hours. As a result we are seeing a response in some of the smaller watercourses with levels rising, sometimes rapidly. Consequently, flooding of property, roads and farmland is possible from 21:00 today, 16/08/2022. Areas most at risk are Parkland and sports fields which are expected to flood. There is also a risk form localised flooding due to surface water. We are closely monitoring the situation. Please do not walk or drive through flood water and be aware rivers could rise very quickly even if it's not raining where you are. This message will be updated tomorrow morning, 17/08/2022, or as the situation changes.

Following recent rainfall which has left the ground saturated, river levels are now rising as a result of Storm Dennis. Flooding of low-lying roads and farmland is possible overnight into Sunday and beyond. Intermittent rainfall is expected to continue overnight into Sunday morning. The current forecast indicates that the river response is likely to peak early on Sunday morning, 16 February, at levels significantly lower than those seen during Storm Ciara last weekend. We are closely monitoring the situation from our incident room. Please avoid using low lying footpaths and roads near watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying land that may be flooded. Please see GOV.UK for a 5 day flood forecast, and for weather forecasts please see the Met Office. This message will be updated at 11:30 or as the situation changes.

Heavy rainfall associated with Storm Dennis is forecast from midday today, 15 February 2020. Due to the flashy nature of the Sheffield Car Brook we are issuing this flood alert in case the area is impacted by the heaviest rainfall totals. Because of the already saturated ground, river levels would be likely to rise rapidly. We are closely monitoring the situation from our incident room. If you observe flooding, please avoid using low lying footpaths and roads near watercourses. Please also plan driving routes to avoid low lying land that may be flooded. Please see GOV.UK for a 5 day flood forecast and for weather forecasts please see the Met Office. This message will be updated at 21:45 or as the situation changes.
