2026 Flood Investigation Studies
From: Cabinet - Tuesday, 19 May 2026 - 6.30 pm - May 19, 2026
Dorset experienced several intense rainfall events through January 2026, culminating in Storm Chandra (26-27 January 2026) which delivered exceptionally heavy rain onto already saturated catchments, causing widespread flooding.
