Flood alert for River Kennet and its tributaries from Berwick Bassett down to Newbury
Property flooding is not expected.
River levels remain high on the River Kennet following recent rainfall and high groundwater levels but are now starting to fall slowly.

Following a dry afternoon and evening, showers are possible overnight. River levels are expected to remain high over the coming days and sensitive to further rainfall.
