You’ll no doubt be aware that the heavy rain overnight has added to already saturated ground which has caused a number of flooding incidents across the county and a lot of standing water on the road network.

There are currently 2 flood warnings and 9 flood alerts in place in Buckinghamshire. You can see the detail of this on the Environment Agency website.

The council is keeping residents up to date with the latest information via its social media channels. We wanted to let you know of the best information to pass onto residents if they’re concerned or are experiencing impacts of the poor weather conditions.

• To find out if there any flooding warnings or alerts are in place in your area, use the Environment Agency website, and follow the advice on their pages

• To find out about severe weather alerts, use the Met Office website

• These two websites are the best sources of information for residents

• If residents need to alert the council to an emergency or significant incident, they should use the emergency numbers for the Highways Team – they can assist with sandbags if there is an immediate and significant threat that homes or property might flood. These numbers are 01296 382 416 and 01296 486 630 out of hours

• Please be advised that residents should not use Fix My Street to report emergencies out of hours, as this is used for routine ‘in hours’ reporting and may not be seen

• There is some generic advice and information on the council’s website about how to be prepared for severe weather and what to do if you’re worried about flooding – please use the link www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/flooding

We will keep you informed as this situation develops and hope that the above information is useful.

After the clearance of any overnight fog, tomorrow looks like it will be mainly fine and dry although one or two showers are possible, especially later in the day across western parts of Hampshire and the Thames Valley. Sunday will see a mainly cloudy day with showers, isolated heavy, spreading east during the day, clearing early evening.
