Alert Details
Type: Flood Warning (Severity Level 2)
Issued by: Environment Agency
Effective: Overnight on February 15, 2026
Affected Areas
The warning specifically targets North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, located east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice. This includes localized areas within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, specifically the stretch of road between Peterborough and Rings End.
What You Should Do
Residents and commuters are advised to take care and avoid walking, cycling, or driving through flood water. While this Flood Warning remains in force, the Local Authority will close North Bank Road. Motorists should utilize diversionary routes and monitor local media for further updates.
Expected Conditions
Rising river levels are expected to cause flooding due to a combination of high river levels and high tide. During the high tide period, the River Nene will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in "tide lock" conditions. Further light rainfall is forecast for tonight, which will contribute to the localized flooding of North Bank Road.
Timeline
The alert was officially raised at 7:52 PM on February 15, 2026. Flooding is expected to commence overnight. The Environment Agency is closely monitoring the situation and will provide an update by 5:00 PM on February 16, 2026, or sooner if conditions change.
