Flooding possible. Be prepared.
River levels on the Isle of Sheppey have risen as a result of heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours. Flooding of roads and low-lying land close to the watercourses of Scrapsgate Drain and Warden Bay Drain is expected between 5:00pm this evening 12 March 2024 and 9:00am tomorrow morning 13 March 2024.
