Taplow gate opening on the Jubilee River

Posted on February 6, 2026February 6, 2026 by ecwlarcombe

A Taplow flow control structure gate adjustment (opening) on the Jubilee River was made at 12.30 pm on 5-2-2026.  You can see the adjustment here  and the downstream effect recorded about 2 hours later here

MY PREDICTION – If the rain continues, I anticipate that the Green in Wraysbury will steadily submerge (yet again) due to the Wraysbury Drain being blocked for years at Feathers Lane.
