Following a flurry of Flood Alerts earlier today (Wednesday), the Environment Agency have issued two updates.
The flood alert for Carisbrooke and Hunny Hill on the Lukely Brook is no longer in force. The EA say,
Water levels in the Lukely Brook are now falling following its response to heavy rain over night and this morning (27/11/24). There is no further risk of property flooding. The weather is now fairly dry over the next three days. More unsettled weather, bringing further bands of rainfall is forecast for Hampshire from Sunday (30/11/2024). Should this rain affect the brook, then we may need to issue further advice.
The Flood Alert for River Medina from Blackwater to Newport has also been updated. It now reads:
The water level in the River Medina at Blackwater and Shide is high but slowly falling as a result of dry weather over the last 4 hours. Out of bank flooding will continue to affect land, gardens and roads at Blackwater, including Blackwater Hollow on the A3020 near the Mill Farm, and at Sandy Lane throughout today (27/11/2024). Dry weather is now forecast from today (27/11/2024) until Saturday (30/11/2024). The river is expected to recover to normal levels in the next 24 hours and any ongoing minor flood impacts will reduce. We continue to monitor the forecast. Please avoid walking or driving through flood water.
