Flood alert for The tidal River Waveney from Ellingham to Breydon Water
This message has been issued because some minor flooding to riverside roads and footpaths is likely throughout today, Saturday 20th April, and into tomorrow, Sunday 21st April. This is due to a natural tide locking effect. High 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 at Beccles Quay. 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 monitoring the situation and will update this message by 10am tomorrow, Sunday 21st April, or as the situation changes.
Flood alert area: The tidal River Waveney from Ellingham to Breydon Water including Beccles Quay, Oulton Broad, Somerleyton, St Olaves, Haddiscoe and Belton.
