Update: Rivers still on flood watch
SEVEN rivers in Oxfordshire were this evening still on flood watch alert with forecasters predicting heavy rain tomorrow.
The alert on the River Thames extends throughout the county.
The Environment Agency said that, while "no property flooding is currently expected," in many places the rivers were overflowing their banks.
More rain is forecast tonight and heavy rainfall expected tomorrow, with up to an inch of rain predicted.
Six other Oxfordshire rivers on Flood Watch are the Cherwell, Evenlode, Ock, Ray, Thame and Windrush.
Flood Watch is the first level of the agency's alert system, warning that low-lying land is at risk of flooding and that householders should keep an eye on water levels near their properties.
The agency said that river levels were expected to keep rising after heavy rain and snow in the Cotswolds on Friday worked its way downstream.
