Rain in Sheffield

With further rain forecast today and overnight, the council is reminding Sheffield residents to be vigilant and take extra care over the next 24 hours.

Whilst there is currently no flood warning in place for Sheffield, the council is fully prepared to respond if there is further heavy rainfall, following localised flooding across the city at the end of last week.

Due to the significant rainfall this evening, the River Don is expected to rise overnight. The council and Environment Agency are closely monitoring water levels and are confident that the water will not overtop the river banks.

Over the past week, Amey has been working extensively on recovery, dealing with ongoing issues across the road network and preparing for further wet weather. Divers have also been clearing debris from waterways to ensure that rivers continue to flow.
