A flood alert has been issued for parts of Oxfordshire today.
According to the Gov website, there is the potential for flooding due to the rising river levels of the River Thame, upstream of Stadhampton.
The alert says the river levels are rising slowly in Stadhampton and Dorchester as the peak moves downstream with levels falling around Thame.
Flooding of roads and farmland is expected to continue today but no further rainfall is forecast this evening, overnight or tomorrow.
