    Areas affected: Groundwater flooding in the Henley and Assendon area

    ACTIVE

    Started at: 09:32 BST on Fri 28 June

    Flooding is possible - be prepared

    Groundwater levels are high but falling at our Stonor Estate borehole near Henley and Assendon. Groundwater levels are above normal for this time of year and communities may continue to be affected by groundwater flooding. The catchment remains sensitive to further rainfall due to the high groundwater levels. The weather forecast is for dry and warm weather over the next 5 days. Low-lying land, gardens, roads, and cellars continue to be at risk of flooding. Due to the nature of groundwater flooding, this situation could continue for several weeks.
    Avoid driving or walking through floodwater as there may be concealed hazards. We are continuing to monitor groundwater levels and will update this message on Friday, 05/07/2024, or as the situation changes.
