Flooding possible. Be prepared.
We anticipate the next high tide this afternoon, 27 October 2026, to meet the flood alert threshold. Flooding is possible from 12:00 PM on 27 October 2026.
Locations most affected will be low lying land and roads around the Mersey Estuary. Hale Village, peaking at 12:00 PM on 27 October 2026.
We are not expecting that the high tide overnight into 28 October 2026, will meet the flood alert threshold. We are expecting higher than normal high tides over the next day, and a result, we may issue further flood alerts and flood warnings.
We are closely monitoring the situation .
Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.
