Alert Details
The Environment Agency has issued a flood alert for the Thames area, specifically targeting the River Pang and Sulham Brook. The alert was raised at 8:58 AM on February 15, 2026, following reports of high river levels that may lead to flooding in the region.
Affected Areas
The alert covers the River Pang from East Ilsley to Pangbourne, as well as the Sulham Brook. Geographic impacts are concentrated in Oxfordshire and West Berkshire. Officials noted that flooding of low-lying land and roads is particularly expected in the Tidmarsh area.
What You Should Do
Residents and travelers in the affected regions are advised to take the following precautions:
- Avoid using low-lying footpaths and roads near rivers, as these areas are most susceptible to flooding.
- Monitor local weather reports and river conditions.
- Visit the River Levels Online service for real-time updates on water levels.
Expected Conditions
River levels are currently high on parts of the River Pang and Sulham Brook. While levels are falling slowly, they remain highly responsive to additional precipitation. Further rainfall is forecast for today, February 15, which has the potential to be heavy at times. This additional rain may cause water levels to rise again or slow the current recession, maintaining the risk of flooding for low-lying areas and transit routes.
Timeline
The alert is effective immediately as of February 15, 2026. Flooding conditions are expected to continue throughout the day. The Environment Agency plans to provide an update on the situation by 12:00 PM on February 16, 2026, or sooner if conditions change significantly.
