Heavy rain causes flooding in Gosport with warnings along River Meon and Hamble - full list

Pictures showed water consuming roads and forest paths. Area hit include Foster Gardens, Leesland Road, Arden Close and elsewhere.

Several flood warnings are in place today (February 2) following last night’s downpours, including in Titchfield on the River Meon. The government alert said 35mm of rain fell yesterday causing very high water levels.

“Flooding will affect Titchfield Hill with very high water levels at Titchfield Mill, Bridge Cottage and at the Tanneries Industrial Estate,” the warning added. “Water could flow across the main road and cause flooding to the front of Bridge Cottage.”

The warning said a small amount of rain is forecast today, but more showers are expected on Tuesday which could once again raise river levels.

Warnings have also been issued for Wallington in Fareham, Wickham along the A334, areas alongside the River Hamble including Waltham Chase, Durley Mill and Botley, and sites close to the River Itchen such as Mansbridge and Woodmill.

One of the warnings urges people to stay away the seafront in the south of Hayling Island. It said: “We are liaising with emergency services and local authorities who assess beach condition.
