River levels remain high on the River Colne, Frays, Wraysbury and Poyle Channel, following rainfall throughout February and March. Due to the ground being saturated, the river is sensitive to further rainfall and levels have risen again this week. Flooding will continue to affect locations near the River Colne, Frays, Wraysbury and Poyle Channel, with low lying land most affected, particularly around Longford but we do not currently expect property flooding. Further showers are possible on Thursday 28th March and Friday 29th March so we are continuing to monitor river levels and are checking rivers for blockages in the area. Please monitor local water levels and weather conditions. Consider putting your flood plan into action. You should avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. This message will be updated by 10am on Friday 29th March, or as the situation changes.Groundwater levels in East Surrey and South London have been rising throughout the winter following higher than average rainfall. Levels continued to increase through most of February and until the second half of March in response to heavy rainfall and storm events during the previous month. The Caterham Bourne between Woldingham and Purley is now flowing along its course. On 15 March 2024, the Environment Agency installed equipment to monitor the flow and levels on the Caterham Bourne in Kenley Bourne Park.
Properties with deep basements and low lying land in and around Purley and the Caterham Bourne may experience flooding. Riparian owners are reminded to keep clear the sections of river that flow through their land. Flooding of properties, gardens and low lying land elsewhere is not expected at this point in time.
The Environment Agency is monitoring the situation alongside Surrey County Council, Tandridge District Council and the London Borough of Croydon. We will update this message on Wednesday 3 April 2024, or sooner if the situation changes.
River levels are expected to be high as a result of spring tides and high river flows.
The forecast high tide at Richmond is now 4.70mAOD at 04:15 on 29/03/2024.
Flooding of low-lying roads and footpaths is expected, which may exist for one to two hours either side of high tide. Flooding of properties is not expected.
We believe there is a possibility of flooding for Putney Embankment (SW15), Chiswick Mall and Strand on the Green (W4), Thames Bank at Mortlake (SW14), Ranelagh Drive (TW1), Friars Lane and Water Lane (TW9), Riverside and The Embankment at Twickenham, and the Towpath below Teddington Lock.
Astronomical tide levels are falling. The river flow at Teddington Weir is high for this time of year at 230 cubic metres per second and is rising. We anticipate the flows to remain high for the next five days.
We are closely monitoring the situation.
This message will be updated by 10:00 on 29/03/2024, or as the situation changes.River levels are continuing to rise steadily on the Colne Brook in reaction to recent rainfall. Flooding is forecast to affect locations near the Colne Brook but no property flooding is currently expected. Further showers are possible overnight on Thursday 28th March and throughout the day on Friday 29th March. We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and are checking rivers for blockages in the area. You should monitor local water levels and weather conditions.

This message will be updated by 10am on Friday 29th March 2024, or as the situation changes. Property flooding is not currently expected. River levels are forecast to rise on the River Thames due to high tides. Therefore, flooding of low lying land and roads is possible later this afternoon on Trowlock Island. The next high tide is at 16:45 this afternoon 28/03/2024 and the peak is forecast to reach between 4.88 and 5.02 metres. The following high tide will be at 04:45 tomorrow morning 29/03/2024 and is not forecast to reach the flood alert threshold. Further rainfall, which may be heavy at times, is forecast over the next 48 hours. Our staff are managing weirs on the River Thames to reduce flood risk. Avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses. Go to the 'River and Sea levels in England' webpage for current river levels.
