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.

>6 inches deep at the South West cattle grid. Probably unpassable using wellies.

Now too deep to cycle without getting wet feet (unless you have wellies). I would guess at 6 inches deep at worst. Was almost clear at 2pm so water rising fast!

Path flooded most of the way to bend. About 4 inches (10cm) at deepest point. Easy to cycle, but probably impassable on for without wellies.

Sewage still flooding from drain. Pedestrians can get round via muddy raised verge. Cyclists will need to cycle through. Depth as previously stated.

The bottom of Ferry Rd remains flooded with raw sewage. Passable with Wellies,say 6-12", but a definite biohazard in shoes.
\nFresh muck is still gushing from drain covers. According to the BBC website (13:13) "In Oxford Ferry Road is closed at the B4150 Marston Road junction "

“ 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!’ ”
