Flood Alert Info - The Rivers Minsmere and Yox, from Peasenhall to Middleton

This message has been issued because some minor flooding to low lying land, roads, and riverside areas is likely in response to the rain that has fallen overnight and this morning, Sunday 18 February 2024. River levels are expected to remain high in response to the rainfall. Areas most at risk are low lying roads and riverside areas around Sibton, Peasenhall and Yoxford. We are not currently expecting the situation to escalate. The forecast is for a generally improving weather picture through this afternoon, but with the chance of the odd shower pushing through the catchment which could be heavy. Take care on riverside footpaths, and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. We are monitoring the situation closely. We will update this message on Monday 19 February 2024, or if the situation changes.

Flooding is possible in this area. Monitor local water levels and weather conditions. Avoid using low lying footpaths or entering areas prone to flooding. Start acting on your flood plan if you have one. Environment Agency Flood Warning Officers set the river or tidal levels that have triggered this message.
