You may also find the current flag status of the river useful. This page tracks the level of the Isis at Friar's Wharf; Geraint Jones informs me that 15" to 20" above normal there seems to be a good match for a flooded path.
The Environment Agency has an automated level meter at the Southern end of Mesopotamia with two readings available: upstream and downstream. Once calibrated against the flooding of the path these should provide a useful warning mechanism.

City-side cattle grid is submerged. Flooding is about 1 inch or so in middle of path at 7:30am.

At 22:40, water was beginning to encroach on the cycle path but even at the narrowest point the road was still wide enough for three people to walk side by side.

The river has risen noticably between 6pm and 9.30pm, and the edges of the cycle track have started to flood.

Path still dry at 1pm, but the river looks high and I think the water in the meadow at the sides of the path is rising.

Path still dry but dark. I assume it will still be ok tomorrow. But watch out on Wednesday

Id like to ask that if you are walking through the cycle path you carry a light especially if you’re dressed in dark colours! Thank you. It goes without saying that cyclists should wear lights.

“ An A-road walks into a bar and asks for a pint. The barman serves him, but he looks really tough and the barman worries that there'll be trouble.
“ Then a dual carriage way walks in and buys a pint. The barman again notes that he looks tough and says, ‘Look, I don't want any trouble, so could you sit in that corner away from the A-road?’ So the dual carriage way does.
“ Soon afterwards, in walks a motorway and gets a pint, who looks extremely tough, so the barman makes him sit in another corner away from the other two roads.
“ A bit later, a really small road walks in and buys a diet coke. The A-road, dual carriage way and motorway all look at him aghast and run out of the pub. The barman grabs the motorway on the way past and asks, ‘Why are you running out? He's a really tiny road.’
“ The motorway replies, ‘He's no road, he's a cycle path!’ ”
