River levels remain very high as a result of recent heavy rainfall. A tidal surge at Dover of up to 0.5m is also possible during the next high tide at 2am on Friday 1 March 2024. Flooding of property, roads and low lying land is possible overnight from 3am. We expect flooding to affect some properties around Grove Ferry and Plucks Gutter.
