Snow Melt and Heavy Rain Could Lead to Flooding After Storm Goretti
Flood alerts affect multiple rivers and low-lying areas as thawing snow and rain raise river levels, with some roads and infrastructure already impacted, Environment Agency said.
- After an icy start on Saturday, the Environment Agency issued flood alerts in Worcestershire and Herefordshire as snow and ice from Storm Goretti melt, affecting River Lugg and nearby areas.
- After Storm Goretti, forecasters noted the Met Office warned warming will bring a rapid thaw and further rain, raising flood risk while more than 12,000 properties lost power.
- Footpaths alongside the River Severn at Diglis have started to submerge, and residents were advised to find alternative routes as water covers the road at Upleadon Court and the New Street flood gate in Upton upon Severn closes.
- Mill Bank Road between Jubilee Bridge and Fladbury is already affected, and flooding may render Wedderburn Bridge impassable, causing transport delays near River Avon, Offenham, Evesham, and Twyning.
- With further showers forecast, the Environment Agency has multiple alerts—four flood warnings and 85 flood alerts—while SEPA lists 12 alerts and eight warnings in Scotland.
