The latest briefing from Environment Agency Wessex about water levels in catchments across Somerset. Additional pumps are being installed, but as Currymoor is now full the A361 may flood. The situation across the whole county is being closely monitored.

An 11 January Environment Agency Wessex briefing about the current situation on the Somerset Levels and Moors following recent heavy rain, and with a wet weather warning issued for Thursday 12 January. The Environment Agency has been maximising pumping when river levels and tides allow. Pumping stopped Currymoor from filling up and prevented Athelney spillway from running. The A361 has been re-opened, but is still being closely monitored. Hook Bridge, Allermoor and Beasley's spillways have been running when the river channels are full. Pumps have operated intermittently as they only pump when there is capacity in the rivers.

Somerset County Council has closed the A361 across the Somerset Levels following warnings from the Environment Agency that floodwaters are likely to spill onto the road. Road users are urged to plan ahead and use an alternative route, as emergency road closure gates at Burrowbridge and East Lyng were closed from 6pm on Tuesday 10 January.

A 9 January Environment Agency Wessex briefing about the current situation on the Somerset Levels and Moors following recent heavy rain, and with more intermittent rain forecast. Trigger points for action have been met at Northmoor and Saltmoor pumping stations, pre-emptive action is being taken at Dunball.
