Flooding expected. Take action now.
Warning Update. Flooding is expected in West Benbecula. Act now.
The prevailing weather forecast, along with very high tides means that flooding from the sea is expected. Flooding is possible of low-lying land, roads and properties along the coastline between Creagorry and Balivanich, particularly at Baile nan Cailleach (Stinky Bay). Strong south-westerly winds also means that waves may cause wave overtopping and cover roads with debris. The highest risk is either side of the high tide on Tuesday 27th October at 18:30 GMT.
Remain vigilant and remember, it is your responsibility to take actions which help protect yourself and your property. Advice and information is available on our website or by calling Floodline on 0345 988 1188.
This Flood Warning Update is now in force until further notice.
