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.

Following up from Ganesh's message of Tuesday 10 February 2026, we have (so far at least) been able to restore deliver to hotmail addresses (also live.com and outlook.com). Whilst the delivery fix was made on 10th February, today I've also re-enabled all subscriptions disabled by bounces previously.

\nThis is not the first time this issue has arisen and unfortunately it has proved rather difficult to engage with Microsoft to address the issue, so we can't guarantee that the issues doesn't recur in the future. We recommend if possible that you switch away to another email provider to receive more reliable updates.

Possible to cycle through without waterproof shoes provided you a) go slow enough to avoid excessive splash and b) stick to half pedal rotations on the deepest bit just east of the bridges

Just went through on my bike without wellies, no back-pedalling needed. Walkers are crossing in wellies and seem fine.

Too flooded to go through on a bike unless you have wellies on. Looked at it and didn’t even attempt

Unsuitable for shoes. 50-75 mm deep, flooded within 7 m of bend
“ 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!’ ”
