Flooding possible. Be prepared.
Storm Eleanor will ease but strong winds, large waves and a higher than average tide will continue tonight. Impacts should be less than today, but water levels will be high through Newhaven. Small amounts of water may affect North Quay, Railway Quay, Riverside North and the Rec Ground. And may also back up through the drains. A Flood Alert will remain in force for Thursday 4 Jan with a comparable tide to Wednesday. Tides do not fall significantly until the weekend, but with wind and waves easing the overall flood risk should reduce. Take care if visiting the coast. Install flood protection products if available. This message will be updated by 11:00 Thursday 4 January 2018.
