Flooding possible. Be prepared.

Flood Alert

Stormy conditions are forecast, resulting in a large tidal surge moving down the East Coast from Monday morning. This will lead to unusually high tide levels along the tidal River Witham in and around Boston. The time of the high water is from 07:40 on Monday, 30 Sep 2019, however conditions may apply 2 to 4 hours either side of high tide. High tides combined with strong winds may result in wind-blown spray and wave splash causing localised pooling of water behind sea defences. Low lying coastal land and roads will be affected first. Our forecasts indicate that flooding to properties isn't likely on Monday. We are expecting the situation to worsen on Tuesday morning and we're expecting property flooding in Boston then. It is very likely that flood warnings will be issued for Tuesday morning's tide in Boston. We are monitoring tide levels, have staff in the field checking our defences and closing tidal gates where required. This message will be updated as the situation changes
