Flood alert for The tidal River Yare from Thorpe St Andrew to Breydon Water
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 in Brundall and Reedham riverside areas. 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 River Yare, from Thorpe St Andrew to Breydon Water including Brundall, Cantley, Reedham and Burgh Castle.
