Flood warning
Areas affected: Mansbridge and Woodmill on the River Itchen
ACTIVE
Started at: 07:24 GMT on Mon 16 November
Flooding is expected - immediate action required
The Lower River Itchen remains very high following heavy rainfall over the weekend. High tide at Southampton is forecast at 11:09 on 16/11/2020 and 13:21 on 16/11/2020. The tide is still higher than normal, but will be lower than recorded in recent days, forecast at 5.03 m Chart Datum (2.29 mAOD). Given that flows in the river are still very high, for 1 hour either side of high tide, water may still come out of bank, flooding the access road and car parking areas near the White Swan Pub and the car garage at Mansbridge. Impacts should be much less than experienced over the weekend. For the next 4 days, the weather should be dry, and tide levels continue to lower. This will give the river a chance to return to normal and the situation will improve. The sea door at Woodmill remains open, and it is helping to lower levels in the river. We recommend closing the defence gates around the pub. This Flood Warning will be updated by 18:00 on Monday 16/11/2020.

Flooding is possible - be prepared
A high tide of 4.94m AOD is expected at Richmond at around 02:45am on Monday 16th November.
Due to high fluvial flows coming down the River Crane, the Crane Tidal Gates will not be able to close to hold back the incoming tide from the River Thames. As a result, the incoming tide will flow up the River Crane, which, when combined with the fluvial flow already in the channel, will push levels very high.
Some flooding of gardens and low lying land is expected in the early hours of Monday morning, although we do not expect any flooding to buildings. Any flooding is likely to be of short duration covering the period around high tide.

A combination of high river levels at Barcombe following heavy rain, and a high tide at Newhaven, is predicted to cause river levels along the Lower Ouse to rise Sunday evening. Between 00:00 and 04:00 on Monday 16/11/2020 river levels are expected to be higher than previously seen this weekend. Minor flooding could affect fields, rural roads, gardens and approach properties around Railway Lane, The Pells, and gardens of Riverdale and Malling Deanery near Willeys Bridge Lewes. Minor flooding could also affect areas near St John's Church in Piddinghoe, and Whitfeld Lane and Ivors Lane Hamsey. Monday and Tuesday are forecast to be dry, and tide levels will reduce, so river levels should fall after Monday lunchtime (16/11/2020). If you have flood protection products, please install as a precaution. Please avoid walking through flood water, it can contain hidden dangers. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. We will update this message by 12:00 on 16/11/2020.

Flooding is possible - be prepared
This message has been issued because there is a possibility of some minor flooding to riverside roads and footpaths on Monday 16th November, between 9:30am and 15:30pm, and for the next two tides after this one (overnight on Monday 16th November and during the day on Tuesday 17th November). High water levels may last for a few days until the high tides at Great Yarmouth have passed. This is due to the natural tide locking effect of high tidal waters moving up the rivers from Great Yarmouth that restricts the normal drainage out to sea of the Broads river system at low tide. We have issued this message now to give sufficient lead in time ahead of tomorrow morning. We expect to see high water levels in Brundall and Reedham riverside areas. We are not currently expecting the situation to escalate. Take care on waterside roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. We are monitoring the situation.

A FLOOD WARNING update has been issued for Spey Viaduct to Spey Bay.
Flooding from the sea is possible on the B9015 road from Garmouth to Kingston and on Burnside Road in Kingston, due to high tides. The next two high tides could both be high enough to cause some disruption. There is a risk of flooding for 2-3 hours around the time of each high tide. Water levels in the River Spey are normal and so any risk of flooding is only from the sea, it is not being increased by river flows.
The high tides times for the next two tides which may bring problems are: 11.45am on Sunday morning and around midnight on Sunday night.
By Monday morning we expect the risk from high tides will have passed.
