With fields and water meadows along the length of the River Meon, already saturated following Storm Ciara, Titchfield is set to suffer even more flooding as Storm Dennis rips across the south.
A fallen tree blocked Posbrook Lane and further on, towards Triangle Lane, a section of the road was flooded to the depth of six inches.
The Met Office issued a Flood Warning for the Lower Meon area, they advise…

Water levels in the River Meon at Titchfield remain high but they have just stabilised.
In the last 24 hours, over 35mm of rain has fallen in Warnford, which is nearly half a month’s rainfall.
Currently there is out of bank flooding affecting land at Titchfield Mill, Titchfield Hill and near to the Tanneries Industrial Estate. Rain should clear the area by 17:00 (16/02/2020) but the river will remain very high over the next 24 hours.
Tomorrow (Monday 17/02/2020), much smaller amounts of rain are forecast, but it will be enough to cause water levels to increase further, even if they do start to slowly fall overnight.
Monday will be another windy day across the UK due to storm Dennis and flooding and road closure could still cause disruption to early morning commuters
