Raised: 2 Mar 2026 at 10:13am • Updated: 2 Mar 2026 at 10:13am
This is a Flood Alert update. River levels remain high at Little Puddle and Briantspuddle river gauges. Flooding could still affect locations near the River Piddle, with low lying land and roads expected to be most affected, particularly around tributaries between Alton Pancras and Wareham. Dry weather is forecast over the next few days. We will continue to monitor the situation. Please avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses, and do not attempt to walk, cycle or drive through flood water. Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car. Check local authority websites for road closures. This message will be updated by 11:00AM on Tuesday 3rd March 2026 or as the situation changes.
