Flood warning and alers for March 18, 2019. Environment Agency
Flood warnings remain in place for parts of Cumbria today following heavy rain at the weekend.
A flood warning - the second highest level of alert - is in place for Keswick Campsite, while two alerts are in force.
They cover:
- the upper River Derwent, Stonethwaite Beck and Derwentwater
- the Rivers Brathay, Rothay and Winster in the south of the county.
The warning for Keswick Campsite states: "Derwentwater level at Lodore has fallen 0.1m in the last 6 hours. We are expecting the level to continue falling throughout today but the shores and footpaths around Derwent Water could still be flooded.
"Currently, we are expecting that the flood warning may be removed on Tuesday morning."
Yesterday Carlisle's Rickerby Park remained flooded following heavy downpours on Saturday.
