Heightened flood risk
High spring tides around the coasts from Monday (11 August) through to Thursday (14 August) bring a risk of wave overtopping and spray in places, particularly when strong gusts of wind coincide with the time of high tides.
Disruption to seasonal locations such as campsites and caravan parks, and flooding of low lying land and isolated properties, is possible.
Environment Agency monitoring situation
The Environment Agency is continuing to monitor the situation closely along with the Met Office and local authorities. Our teams are out on the ground, ensuring coastal flood defences are ready, rivers can flow freely and clearing trash screens.
You can sign up to receive free flood warnings, check your flood risk and keep up to date with the latest situation on the GOV.UK website and #floodaware on Twitter for the latest flood updates.
