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.

At 3pm cycle path now flooded about a third of the straight stretch after the cow grid coming from town. Passable by bike, pedestrians might be better off with wellies.

I just cycled through about 15 minutes ago. The water is now completely across on the path in two small sections (e.g. near the cattle grid). It’s still shallow and it’s only two small sections, but you might get wet on foot - and it’s probably still rising.

The water is now almost covering the shallowest parts of the path. Still passable on foot in normal shoes but rising.

Cycle path still passable both by bike and on foot. But water is creeping up and it's already covering the cattle grid and the sides of the path towards the city centre

Still clear at lunchtime today, with no water at the edges of the path.
“ 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!’ ”
