River levels are forecast to rise at the Wareham river gauge as a result of high tides and strong winds, coinciding with high river levels. Consequently, the risk of flooding remains. We believe there is a possibility of flooding for Wareham Quay, Ridge, Redcliffe and Swineham areas
High tide levels may prevent rivers from flowing to the sea and cause rivers to rise
We are closely monitoring the situation. Predicted high tide is at 02:00 on 15/01/20 and is at 1.62m
This message will be updated tomorrow morning, 15/1/20, or as the situation changes.
