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.

The path was cyclable without back-and-forth pedalling for me at 5pm, though my shoes got a bit splashed.

At 11.30 a.m. today(Tuesday 9, much of the path was covered , between the high bridge and the first hedge (going in Marston direction) but shallow enough to ride a bicycle (back and forth pedalling advised). Walkers still needed Wellingtons. Both rivers are falling, so may be dry by this afternoon.

“ 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!’ ”
