Flooding possible. Be prepared.
River levels are rising on the River Tyne due to heavy rainfall.
Flooding is forecast to affect locations near the River Tyne, with low lying land expected to be most affected, particularly around riverside footpaths and low lying land and roads.
Flooding is possible at riverside footpaths and low lying land and roads from 8:00 AM on 23/05/2024. Further rainfall is forecast throughout today (23/05/2024).
No further flooding to fields and roads is expected, however there may be standing water seen for several days.
We will continue to monitor levels closely.
Plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
This message will be updated by 1:00 PM on 23/05/2024, or as the situation changes.
