Flood warning for Riverside properties along the tidal River Yare including Cantley, Brundall and Reedham

Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

This message has been issued because flooding of homes and businesses is likely from 11pm this evening Sunday 22nd December through to early hours of tomorrow, Monday 23rd December. High water levels may last for a few days, until the high tides and tidal surge at Great Yarmouth have passed. This is due to a natural tide locking effect, and tidal water moving up the rivers from Great Yarmouth is currently restricting the normal drainage of the Broads river system out to sea at low tide. Areas most at risk are in Reedham, Cantley and Brundall. Roads affected include Ferry Road in Reedham, the A47 and the railway line between Reedham and Brundall. The current series of high spring tides have peaked, although a tidal surge is restricting the river flows draining out to sea at low tide as normal. Be ready to take action to protect your property if flooding is expected. We are closely monitoring the situation. We will update this message by 10am tomorrow, Monday 23rd December.
