River Severn will peak later today, Worcester: Wednesday, 26th February, 2020.

Tower Bridge is flooded.
Not quite as high up as last week.
Water's up a touch in the park.
Swan Bridge remains an island.
The Brook has burst its banks once more and the 
footpaths are flooded and the children's play 
area is a now a pond for mallards.
We think the level here is slightly higher than last week.
It's certainly high at The Swan Theatre. 
As high as last week?
Car park totally under water.
Severn Terrace is flooded once more and we can stand 
and watch the level rising as water floods in from The Racecourse.
Croft Road.
View across The Racecourse from the junction of Croft Road
and Severn Terrace.
The Butts.
Not quite as high as last week.
View over car parks and Croft Road 
towards the river from inside The Hive.
The Butts.
Only fit for four mallards.
Newport Street is no longer passable.
Bridge Street.
Most of the debris has been washed 
away by the power of the flow.
North Quay.
The water is as high as last week.
The river has flooded right across the cricket ground's 
car park, into the ground itself and beyond. 
 Quay Street.
Pumps pumping out quicker than it is flowing in?
Hmmmm.
Lone Canada Goose.
 Two very aggressive ducks amongst the swans and mallards.
Hybrid mallard/pintail possibly.
