The Environment Agency say the Thames in the Reading area has risen in response to rainfall earlier in the week. Levels will continue to rise and property flooding is to be expected.

A largely dry day is forecast by the Met Office tomorrow but more rain is expected to Tuesday and a yellow severe weather warning is still in place.
