Alert Details
The Environment Agency has issued a flood alert for the Bain catchment. This alert was officially raised at 3:16 PM on March 1, 2026, following a period of recent rainfall that has left river levels high.
Affected Areas
The alert specifically covers the Bain catchment within Lincolnshire. Geographic areas of concern include land and roads near the River Bain, River Waring, Haltham Beck, and Scrivelsby. The Environment Agency indicates that the locations most affected will be low-lying land and roads in close proximity to these watercourses.

- Take care and avoid walking, cycling, or driving through flood water.
- Avoid using low-lying roads near rivers which may already be flooded.
- Monitor local conditions as the situation develops.
Expected Conditions
River levels remain high due to recent precipitation. While flooding of low-lying land and roads is possible on March 1, 2026, current forecasts suggest that flooding to properties is not likely. As a result, the Environment Agency does not currently expect to issue more severe flood warnings for this event.
