Tmes are local and refer to the high water time at Avonmouth, mAOD is height above average sea level for more detail refer to local tide tables. We expect unsafe conditions from high wind and wave spray to affect the Severn Estuary from New Passage to the Severn View Industrial Park including low lying properties at New Passage and Shaft Road, Beach Road, Station Road and Riverside Park in Severn Beach. We are closely monitoring the situation. Our contractors have checked the current flood defence construction site and are on standby.
