Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

High tides this evening may lead to flooding.

Flooding of roads and low lying land is possible, property flooding is not expected.

Highest tide level is expected to be at Poole Harbour and tidal stretches of the Lower Frome and River Piddle at 10:30 PM on 09/09/2025. Flooding is possible 2 hours either side of this time.

Areas most at risk include Poole Harbour and tidal stretches of the Lower Frome and River Piddle.

We do not expect to see similar impacts from the high tide tomorrow morning.

We are closely monitoring the situation and checking flood defences.

Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car.

This message will be updated by 10:00 AM on 10/09/2025, or as the situation changes.
