People across Oxfordshire are being warned to remain vigilant for further flooding with more bad weather forecast tonight.

While water levels in the county are receding, Environment Agency bosses say the danger of flooding is not yet finished because more rain is on the way.

There were four severe flood warnings in place yesterday in other parts of the Thames Valley, but only one flood warning was issued to some residents in the county.

This was in place on the Thames from Wallingford to Shepperton, including Henley and Windsor.

Environment Agency spokeswoman Sarah Wallace said: "Oxfordshire appears to be over the worst for now, but more rain is on the way overnight, so people need to be vigilant.

"More rain on top of high water levels could cause flooding. People can ring our floodline on 0845 988 1188 for the latest information.

"If they fear there is a real danger that their homes are going to be flooded, they need to get hold of sandbags to try to prevent this and move their valuables upstairs."

In Wallingford, the agency's John Rowlands and other staff monitored rainfall radar on computers in the flood alert incident room to stay one step ahead.

A flood warning issued for the Thames between Benson and Henley has now been lifted.

Elsewhere in the region, there was still one severe flood warning in operation in Maidenhead, Berkshire, with more than 100 residents' homes being threatened by the Thames.

Water levels were expected to fall slowly throughout the day. At their peak, levels were two inches lower than those recorded in 1990.

Flooding problems, combined with problems on the railways, have also brought disruption to the postal service in Oxfordshire.

Royal Mail spokesman Richard Hall said: "We are experiencing difficulties with the rail disruption, which has been compounded by the weather."

More than 5,000 homes across the country have been flooded so far, with forecasters predicting that England and Wales could be heading for the wettest autumn since records began 273 years ago.
