🌊 york.floodmapper.co.uk

River at 0.79m and rising. EA predict 4.53m – we think that’s unrealistic.

With the extra rain, we expect 2.5–3.0m late Sunday/Monday.

This is enough to flood Kings/Queens Staith, S. Esplanade and onto New Walk in parts.

More updates to follow.

FloodNav – York Update
🌊 york.floodmapper.co.uk

River currently around 1.3m. EA forecast rise to 2.5m, but we think 2.2-2.3m is more realistic.

Flooding Expected:
- Castle Mills
- Qns Sth. & S. Esplanade
- New walk (if higher forecast holds)

Millennium Bridge & Terry Ave clear.

Upper Mole fairly high and not falling much now after Friday rain from edge of Storm Eowyn; two bouts of rain over next 24 hrs (windy too) could see >20mm which would cause overtopping to flood plain, and perhaps flood alert if rain comes in at top end of forecast range. Let's see.

Snowmelt is raising river levels; EA predicts 3.62m.

Impacts expected:
- Castle Mills (imminent)
- South Esplanade, Kings & Queens Staith (4pm)
- New Walk (from 4:45pm)
- Terry Avenue (after 10pm)

Millennium Bridge staying clear

FloodNav - York Update
york.floodmapper.co.uk

Temperature is now picking up, leading to a rise in the river levels upstream in response to the snow from last week melting (e.g. Bainbridge - www.floodmapper.co.uk/stations/bai...).

Expecting the river to begin to rise, with a peak later in the week.

Snowmelt pushing levels higher than our forecast, now peaking at ~2.70m (EA agrees). New Walk, Queens Staith, Kings Staith, and South Esplanade are flooded. Sewage discharging near New Walk—use Terry Ave tomorrow until cleaned!

Water has peaked and is slowly receding. Bridge over the River Mole should now be clear.

Snowmelt is causing a slow rise on the Ouse. Expecting 2.3-2.5m, falling overnight

Flooding likely at New Walk (>2.35m), South Esplanade, and King's Staith (>2.23m)

If New Walk floods - then avoid due to sewage discharge nearby; use Terry Avenue.
