Flood Warning issued on 11 Mar 2020 11:42
North Cornwall Coast, River Camel
Flooding is expected for Wadebridge and Chapel Amble over the high tides, on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. High water at Padstow on Wednesday is at 18:46 and Thursday at 07:03. Times of high water will vary along the coast. Conditions apply two hours either side of high tide, with property flooding expected over the peak of the tide. Force 7 west-south-westerly winds and offshore wave heights are increasing to over 5m on Thursday. These are forecast to cause wave overtopping and sea spray along the coast including sea front car parks. Expect tides to be up to 500mm higher than predicted due to weather conditions. This may cause localised standing water on roads and on the Padstow to Bodmin Cycle Track and Pathway. Do not drive through flood water or waves. Keep up to date with weather and tide conditions on local radio. We are monitoring the situation and will update this information on Wednesday, or if the situation changes
