Flooding is possible - be prepared

Flood alert for The tidal Rivers Bure, Ant and Thurne

Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

This message has been issued because some minor flooding to riverside roads and footpaths is likely from lunchtime today, Thursday 30th January, and for at least the next 24hrs. This is due to a natural tide locking effect, and tidal water moving up the rivers from Great Yarmouth which is restricting the normal drainage of the Broads river system out to sea at low tide. We expect to see high water levels around Potter Heigham, Wroxham boat yards and Ferry Road in Horning. We are not currently expecting the situation to escalate, or to issue any further warning messages at this time. Take care on waterside roads and footpaths, and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. We are closely monitoring the situation. We will update this message tomorrow morning, Friday 31st January, or as the situation changes.

Flood alert area: The tidal Rivers Bure from Wroxham Bridge, Ant from Honing and Thurne from Hickling, to Breydon Water.
