The Environment Agency issued two flood alerts for Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, on 13 March 2026, as rising water levels make flooding possible in the area. These alerts were put in place at 8:37 am and warn residents that water could affect local roads and low-lying land.
The alerts specifically focus on the Middlesbrough Becks, which is a network of small streams throughout the town. This includes Marton West Beck, Newham Beck, Ormesby Beck, Middle Beck, and Spencer Beck.
While these alerts are currently active, the official forecast for the next five days suggests the overall risk of flooding in the town remains very low. The Environment Agency is continuing to monitor the situation and provides updates as water levels change.
Middlesbrough Council and other local authorities advise residents to remain vigilant and keep updated on the weather. People should avoid travelling through flooded areas and stay away from known flood-prone paths near the rivers or the coast.
