Latest flood alert advice from the Environment Agency: This is a Flood Warning Update. River levels remain high at the Stinsford river gauge following recent rainfall and high groundwater. Flooding is still expected. Areas most at risk include areas in East Stoke, Holmebridge, Stoborough, Stoborough Green, Wareham, Redcliffe, Ridge and Swineham. The weather remains unsettled with more rainfall forecast throughout the day today, which may cause further river level rise. We are closely monitoring the situation. Continue using any flood protection products you may have and acting on your flood plan if you have one. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car. This message will be updated by 4:00PM on 16 February 2026 or as the situation changes.
