Flood Warning: Preston Beach Road

Another Flood Warning has been issued by the Environment Agency. Flooding is expected for The Sea Life Centre and the Preston Beach Road area of Lodmoor.

Sea spray overtopping is forecast along the coast as a result of high tides and strong winds.  Forecast high water is 8:15am on 14/12/19. The forecast wind is Force 8 in a Westerly direction. Tide times are in local time and refer to the high water time at Weymouth tidal gauge. There may be significant spray and shingle overtopping affecting the coast road. Conditions may apply two to four hours either side of the high tide.  We believe there is a possibility of flooding for The Sea Life Centre and the Preston Beach Road area of Lodmoor.

We are closely monitoring the situation.

Please avoid contact with flood water and be careful along beaches, promenades and coastal footpaths and roads as large waves could be dangerous.

This message will be updated today, 14/12/19, or as the situation changes.
