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.

Just now from town,sides a bit flooded until halfway in and the first cattle grid is covered with water. I suspect it could be flooded tomorrow morning

Headington Hill road, cycle path and footpath closed by fallen tree overnight. Relevant for those of us who use that route as an alternative to Marston route at flood times.

Fully expect it to be flooded by Monday morning, but hopefully with a dry week ahead it will be short-lived and will be clear again from Thursday onwards.

There is a dry path all the way along now. Some water on the sides of the path only.

Only now the area just after the cattle grid, an inch deep at most. Pedestrians managing to walk through, carefully, in ordinary shoes. Easy for all on bikes including children.

“ 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!’ ”
