Flooding expected. Take action now.
Flooding is expected for Truro over high tide on Sunday evening 29 Oct.
A high spring tide combined with a large tidal surge will result in significantly high water levels over the high tide period, with levels being similar to those observed last evening.
High water at Truro is at 17:33 local time. Times of high water will vary along the coast. Flooding may occur up to 2 hours either side of the high tide. Expect tides to be around 600mm higher than predicted due to weather conditions.
Locations that may be affected include Newham Road, Garras Wharf including the Harbour Office, Malpas Road, Lemon Quay, Town Quay, Back Quay, Green Street, St Austell Street, Old Bridge Street, Festival Gardens, Boscowan Park and the A390
There may be standing water on roads. Do not drive through flood water or waves.
The tidal gates at Truro have been closed.
Coastal conditions should ease for Monday morning's high tide, however we are continuing to monitor the situation. Please check online for any updates to this message
