Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Flooding is possible around the high tide overnight tonight from 02:15 (BST) on Monday 31st March 2025.
Areas most at risk include low lying land, promenades and coastal footpaths.
This is due to higher than normal tides combined with winds and waves.
Coastal conditions are expected to improve tomorrow and no further flooding is expected.
Our operations teams are closing flood gates. Be careful along beaches, promenades, coastal footpaths and roads as large waves and sea spray could be dangerous.
The detailed forecast for those that use it is for a peak level at Sheerness of 3.54mAODN at 02:15 (BST), on Monday 31st March, which is 0.38m above tide tables, wind force 3, north westerly (mAODN is height above average sea level, for more information refer to local tide tables).
This message will be removed by 10:00 on the 31/03/2025, or as the situation changes.
