IMPORTANT FLOOD WARNING INFORMATION FOR THE ISLES OF SCILLY

The Environment Agency has advised that flooding is expected for Isles of Scilly including St Mary's, St Agnes, Bryher, Tresco and St Martin's.

Forecast tide levels and sea conditions on the Isles of Scilly over the morning high tides on Tuesday 12 March and Wednesday 13 March could cause coastal flooding, including overtopping of sea defences and sea spray in exposed coastal locations. Force 6 south-westerly winds are forecast with wave heights up to and exceeding 3m. 

People are advised to stay away from risk areas and take care next to the coast. It is recommended that caution is exercised at least 2 hours either side of high tide due to the wave climate and high water levels. In addition to wave and sea over-topping, there may be a risk of flying debris.
