Flood alert
North Sea coast at Withernsea, Easington and Kilnsea
High tides, strong winds and large waves tomorrow morning may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible from 04:45 to 08:15 on Saturday, 10/10/2026.
Locations most affected will be coastal roads and footpaths along the North Sea coast from Mappleton to Spurn Point. Unsettled coastal conditions are forecast to remain for the high tide on Sunday morning and we will re-issue this alert if required.
We are closely monitoring the situation .
Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.
This message will be updated by 9:00AM on Saturday 10 October or as the situation changes.

Storm overflows whose water reaches this gauge on the mapped river network, nearest first by distance along the river. The status is each water company's monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, not how much or what it contains.
1 storm overflow is traced upstream of this gauge, the nearest 4.5 km away along the river. 0 report discharging now, 1 reports not discharging.
