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 now, 9:35am Monday 23rd December, and over the next 24 hours. 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. We expect to see high water levels around Potter Heigham, Wroxham boat yards and Ferry Road in Horning. 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. 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 by 5pm Monday 23rd December.
Flood alert area: The tidal Rivers Bure from Wroxham Bridge, Ant from Honing and Thurne from Hickling, to Breydon Water.
