Groundwater is high, close to the surface, but slowly rising again at the Houndean Bottom borehole. Springs will continue to appear, water could affect fields, the recreation ground, and a small number of cellars in Denton. Only small amounts of rain are forecast over the five days to 06/03/2026, and groundwater at Houndean Bottom borehole will continue to slowly fall over the coming week. There is a suggestion that high pressure, settled conditions, and only small amounts of rain could continue in the south east of England through the first half of March 2026. Which would allow groundwater to fall for longer. However, with groundwater being as high as it is, groundwater flood impacts could still continue through the first week of March. Take care on roads that flood (Denton Road). Ensure pumps work. We will monitor, and update this message by 18:00 06/03/2026.

Groundwater is high, close to the surface, but slowly falling at Ladies Mile borehole. A small amount of water could still be appearing in a few basements, although likely to be infrequently now.

Groundwater is high, very close to the surface, but now falling. Springs will continue to appear, water will be in fields, small amounts of water will flow down roads, groundwater will affect the ability of the sewage network to operate in East Dean, Charlton, Singleton and West Dean, and may appear in a small number of basements.

There is a suggestion that high pressure, settled conditions, and only small amounts of rain could continue in the south east of England through the first half of March 2026. Which would allow groundwater to fall for longer. However, with groundwater so high, groundwater flood impacts are still likely to continue until at least the middle of March.

Groundwater levels are high at our Northfield Farm borehole in the Great Shefford area and flooding of low-lying areas and roads is possible.
We expect levels to remain high over the coming days and levels will remain sensitive to further rainfall. Due to the nature of groundwater flooding, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer.
We are closely monitoring rainfall and groundwater levels. Residents are advised to prepare property resilience measures and ensure that pumps are working where they have been installed. Take particular care when driving through flood water both for your own safety and to prevent flooding to others.
This message will be updated by 12:00PM, on the 03 March 2026, or as the situation changes.
