Flood Alert Active Warning

Raised: 26 Oct 2026 at 9:02am • Updated: 26 Oct 2026 at 9:02am
We do not anticipate the next high tide this afternoon, 26 October 2026, to meet the flood alert threshold. However, flooding is still possible from 12:00 PM on 26 October 2026.

Locations most affected will be low lying land and roads at Fiddlers Ferry, peaking at 12:00 PM, Eastford Road, peaking at 12:15 PM, and Arpley Bridge, peaking at 12:30 PM. It is possible that river levels may affect Arpley Road under the railway bridge.

We anticipate the next high tide overnight into 27 October 2026, to meet the flood alert threshold. We are expecting higher than normal high tides over the next 2 days, and a result, we may issue further flood alerts and flood warnings.

We are closely monitoring the situation.

Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses.

This message will be updated by 5:00 PM on Monday 26 October or as the situation changes.
