River levels on the Thames around Abingdon remain high this week, with flooding of low-lying land.

In places, flooding appears to be coming up from below, with a high water table leaving the ground saturated even where the river has not visibly spilled over.

While levels are beginning to fall, the ground is now saturated, and levels could rise again if further heavy rainfall arrives upstream.

The weir gates now appear to be fully open. This may explain why the weir walk was closed in advance as a safety precaution. The closure removes a well-used circular route.
