Overview
- The Environment Agency has an active flood warning for Keswick Campsite at Derwent Water, with flooding expected at the site.
- The River Derwent at Lodore measured 2.03 metres on Friday, exceeding the 1.80-metre level at which property flooding becomes possible.
- Four flood alerts remain across Cumbria covering the Upper Derwent and Derwent Water, the Duddon, Crake and Mill Beck, the Brathay, Rothay and Winster, and the coast at North Morecambe Bay.
- Several alerts were lifted in the past 24 hours as levels began to fall slowly, and officials advise people not to walk, cycle or drive through flood water.
- The agency expects the Keswick warning to remain in force into Saturday morning, with a brief settled spell followed by heavy rain on Sunday and ongoing risks to low-lying areas.
