River Calder at Central Todmorden

River levels remain high as a result of heavy rain associated with Storm Bert, and snowmelt over higher ground, on Saturday 23rd November. Whilst levels have fallen, more rainfall overnight (which may continue through this morning, Sunday 24th November) will see river levels start to rise again, so flooding remains possible. However, levels are not expected to get as high as they did yesterday, Saturday 23 November. Impacts remain possible in the Todmorden, Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd areas into Sunday morning. The A646 Halifax Road is currently closed due to flooding. Flooding of roads and low lying land remains possible from rivers and surface water. We are closely monitoring the situation and our Area Incident Room shall continue to be open through the weekend. Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water or walking near swollen rivers - especially as gale force winds are still forecast over the weekend. This message will be updated by 12:30 on Sunday 24 November 2024, or as the situation changes.
