Flood alerts in place on the River Thames at Pangbourne, as the Met Office confirms September was the wettest on record for Berkshire

Two flood alerts are in place across the district, as the Met Office confirms September was the wettest on record for the county.

The two alerts are in place in Pangbourne.

They are at the River Thames from Days Lock to Pangbourne, including Dorchester and Overy, Shillingford, Benson, Ewelme, Wallingford, Winterbrook, East Hagbourne, South Moreton, North Stoke, Moulsfford, South Stoke, goring and Streatley.

There is also a warning from Pangbourne to Whitchurch and Purley.

Property flooding is not expected, but flooding of low lying land and roads is expected to continue for the next few days.

The Environment Agency says while river levels are high, and more light rain is expected, they expect the levels to drop in the next 48 hours.

It has been the wettest September on record for Berkshire – with 172.1mm of rain according to the Met Office.

But the county sits behind Buckinghamshire, which got 176mm, and Wiltshire, with 196.5mm of rain.

Berkshire is among 10 English counties that have seen their biggest drenching since Met Office records began in 1836.

Southern England had its wettest September since 1918.

Temperatures and sunshine hours have stayed average.
