What I don't understand is they're telling us it'll reach about 7m on .gov
Northenden is our nearest station:
https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/station/5101 over 3m now.
Warning says 7m peak in about an hour.
https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/target-area/013FWFGM35
This other site shows Northenden at similar level
https://riverlevels.uk/mersey-northenden
But shows Didsbury 4m higher at over 7m.
https://riverlevels.uk/greater-manchester-didsbury
So going back to .gov there doesn't seem to be an equivalent station for Didsbury. https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/river-and-sea-levels?location=Didsbury
So either the river is due a 4m rise in the next hour or two, or (more likely) it is peaking now and the .gov level info & warning info don't relate to each other?
I might see it differently in the cold light of day, but it seems unusual right now.
