A flood alert has been issued. River levels are rising at the Packington river gauge as a result of persistent heavy rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is possible throughout today, Wednesday 22/05/24. We expect flooding to affect the Harlaston to Edingale Road and low-lying land and roads adjacent to the River Mease and Gilwiskaw Brook between Ashby and Croxall. Further rainfall is forecast over the next 12 hours. We expect river levels to rise until this afternoon 22/05/24. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are actively checking river levels and the weather forecast. Please avoid using low lying footpaths and bridges near local watercourses. Plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated tomorrow morning 23/05/24, or as the situation changes.

Information on update: Warning area adjusted further south in parts of the east whilst trimming the southern extent in the west. End time extended to cater for heavier rain persisting for longer over North Wales and northwest England. Further updates are likely to trim the warning area as rain clears northwestwards through the period. An area of heavy rain will affect much of England and Wales during today, slowly clearing from eastern parts of England through the day. The area of rain is likely to become heavy and persistent over parts of northern England and North Wales, particularly north facing hills, before easing during Thursday morning.
Many places will see 30-40 mm of rain, while a few areas may receive 60-80 mm. There is also a chance that a few upland locations, chiefly in the separate Amber warning area, could see much higher totals, in the order of 100-150 mm.
What should I do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.
Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area. For further details see https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings

Rain becoming heavy and persistent during Wednesday afternoon before easing during Thursday morning. The heaviest rain is expected over north facing hills and where strong winds will enhance rainfall accumulations. Many places within the warning area will see 30-40mm of rain, with high ground of northwest England seeing 70-90 mm. While mountains of north Wales may see 100-150mm or more.
What should I do?
Keep yourself and others safe; prepare to avoid travelling by road during potentially dangerous road conditions. If you must travel, ensure you watch for possible danger and drive cautiously.
It is not safe to drive, walk or swim through floodwater, avoid it where possible and if you are affected by fast flowing or deep-water call 999, and wait for help.
Stay up to date with the weather forecast for your area and follow advice from emergency services and local authorities. For further details see https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings

A flood alert has been issued. River levels are forecast to rise at the Shardlow and Willington Cableway river gauges as a result of persistent heavy rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland could occur from this afternoon, 22/05/2024 and continue through the coming days. However, there is low confidence given the unpredictable nature of the weather front. Areas most at risk are low-lying agricultural land and roads including Willington, Barrow upon Trent, Swarkestone, Bargate Lane, and the access roads to Willington Meadows, the Twyford Village access road, Church Lane at Barrow, and Ingleby Lane. Further rainfall is forecast over the next 48 hours. We expect river levels to begin rising from this morning 22/05/2024. We are closely monitoring the situation. Please avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated by 09:00 tomorrow morning, 23/05/2024 or as the situation changes.
