Residents in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, are being advised to prepare for heavy rain and wind gusts of up to around 30 mph starting Tuesday, 3 February 2026, the Met Office forecasts. The Met Office says these breezy and wet conditions are likely to continue for several days and could cause travel disruption and localized flooding in places.
Met Office guidance indicates roughly 20–40mm of rain may fall widely across the Midlands, and with ground already soaked after a wet January this could cause the River Leam to rise quickly. The Environment Agency’s flood-information page for the River Leam and River Itchen identifies low-lying land and roads between Grandborough and Leamington as the flood-alert area, but it showed no active flood alerts as of 7:59pm on 2 February 2026 — residents should monitor the EA page and sign up for alerts in case the situation changes.
People living near the Royal Pump Room Gardens, Jephson Gardens and Adelaide Road should keep a close eye on water levels; these areas are historically more at risk. Warwickshire County Council says it has stepped up clearing of drains, gullies and culverts in recent weeks to help water flow away and recommends residents check local forecasts and sign up for flood alerts.
Drivers using the A452 and other local routes are advised to take care of fallen branches and standing water on the roads during the heaviest rainfall on Tuesday. The unsettled weather is forecast to remain in the area until at least Friday, 6 February 2026, as a series of low-pressure systems move across the country.
