North Sea at Scarborough - Sandside

Message issued at 9:05pm, Wednesday 21st January

This is an archived message. The status has changed more recently.

Warning no longer in force

The Flood Warning has now been removed. However, a Flood Alert remains in force for the wider area, so flooding of roads and low lying land is still possible.
The previous tide of concern has now passed, the weather is more settled and no flooding is expected.
We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue further alerts or warnings if necessary.
Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car. Continue to take care on waterside roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger.
