Residents in Walton-On-Thames, Surrey, can expect heavy rain and difficult travel conditions starting on the morning of Sunday, February 15, 2026. The Met Office has forecast a 90 per cent chance of heavy downpours between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM.
The rainfall is likely to cause river levels to rise along the Thames, which are currently described as high but stable. A flood warning area is already in place according to the Environment Agency, covering Desborough Island, Walton Bridge, and the Elmbridge Leisure Centre.
While the air temperature may reach 9°C, cold winds will make it feel as low as -1°C during the early hours of Sunday. Following the rain, the area will experience strong wind gusts peaking at 31 mph on Monday, February 16, 2026, which may create hazardous conditions for those near the water.
Local organisations like the Walton Rowing Club monitor these conditions closely, as high water can submerge towpaths and landing stages. People planning to use riverside walking routes or the Thames Path should be prepared for muddy or flooded conditions and spray on nearby roads.
