We are utilising the Parrett Relief Channel to manage levels in the River Parrett. We are pumping at Huish Episcopi and West Sedgemoor pumping stations as river and water levels on the moors allow. Tuesday forecast is for rain and drizzle in places as a front arrives from the west. Overnight into Wednesday morning forecast is for moderate rain that clears eastward across the area. We are monitoring the situation closely. Please avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. This message will be updated by 1pm 11/03/2026 or as the situation changes.
