A flood alert has been issued for the River Wye in Herefordshire.

The predicted peak is similar to the levels we saw in October 2019 when the river peaked at 4.77m, and February this year where the peak was 5.10m.

The Environment Agency said: “River levels are rising at the Hay-On-Wye river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall. Consequently, the risk of flooding remains.
