Flood Warning issued on 8 Apr 2024 13:22
Itchen Estuary, Southampton Water
Tuesday's early morning tide at 00:30 on 09/04/2024 and 02:00 on 09/04/2024 is higher than normal due to unsettled weather with strong Southerly Force 6 winds. The weather increases tide table values by 0.82 m. The total forecast tide is 5.64 metres Chart Datum (2.90 mAOD) at Southampton. The tide will be similar to 14 February 2014. For 1 hour either side of high water, the tide will flow across the road, flooding Woodmill Lane and Woodmill Activity Centre. The river will be out of bank at Riverside Park, making the edge of the river channel impossible to see. Flood depths in roads and the park will be significant, and water will be fast flowing. After this tide the weather becomes more settled but minor impacts could continue until Thursday (11/04/2024). We continue to monitor the forecast. At St Denys, please install flood protection 1 hour before high tide. Please avoid flooded areas of Riverside Park. We will remove this message by 16:00 on 09/04/2024.
