A flood alert has been issued. The band of heavy rain experienced in the River Axe catchment is expected to clear the area by 10pm tonight. Due to the rainfall, the rivers in the area are now rising. Levels suggest that there will be flooding to low lying land and roads close to the River Axe and River Coly from around 3pm today, with rivers reaching their highest levels between 4pm and 10pm. We expect the river to remain high throughout today although no flooding to properties is forecast and warnings are not expected to be issued. Take care near the areas of concern and monitor your local weather conditions. We are constantly monitoring river levels and will issue further flood warnings if required. This message will be updated on Tuesday afternoon or earlier if the situation changes.
