Alert Details
The Environment Agency has issued a flood alert (Severity Level 3) for the River Dikler. High river levels following recent rainfall have made flooding possible in the region. The alert was officially raised at 8:48 AM on February 28, 2026.
Affected Areas
The alert covers the River Dikler from Condicote to Little Rissington in Gloucestershire. Specific impacts are expected on low-lying land and roads, including areas around Bourton on the Water. The geographic scope falls under the Thames Environment Agency area.
What You Should Do
Residents and travelers are advised to avoid using low-lying footpaths and roads near rivers, as these areas may be flooded. The Environment Agency recommends monitoring current river levels through official online updates as the situation develops.
Expected Conditions
River levels on the Dikler are currently stable but remain high. The forecast indicates light rain will continue over the weekend. Because the ground is already saturated, river levels are expected to remain high and sensitive to any further rainfall over the coming days.
Timeline
The alert is effective as of February 28, 2026, with flooding of land and roads expected to continue throughout the day. The Environment Agency expects to provide an update on the situation by 12:00 PM on February 29, 2026, or sooner if conditions change significantly.
