Groundwater levels in Twyford and Hensting are high but continue to slowly fall. During the last week, 27mm of rain was recorded at Otterbourne. We expect isolated properties in Twyford and Hensting will be experiencing cellar flooding. Residual flood water may still be affecting Hensting Lane during this week. From today 14/05/2024 to Saturday 18/05/2024, periods of rain and showers are expected to affect Hampshire with between 10 and 50mm of rain possible during this time. Groundwater flooding impacts in Twyford and Hensting are expected to continue throughout this week. If heavy rain affects the area, flooding impacts could be prolonged. If levels keep falling, and the weather forecast is relatively dry next week, this Flood Alert will be removed. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. If you have pumps to help reduce water levels, please ensure that they are operational. This Flood Alert will be updated or removed by 18:00 on Tuesday 21/05/2024.
