A new ‘flood alert’ has been issued by the Environment Agency for Somerset’s coastline, including Burnham-On-Sea, for Tuesday October 1st.
High tides are set to combine with strong winds, raising the risk of possible over-topping of waves onto seafronts, says the agency.
“Flooding is possible for coastal and tidal areas at Minehead, Combwich, Bridgwater, Burnham-On-Sea, Uphill, Weston-super-Mare, Kewstoke, Sand Bay and Kingston Seymour,” says the warning.
“Waves are forecast to overtop sea defences with sea spray expected as a result of high spring tides and strong winds.”
Similar warnings were in place over the weekend but fortunately no flooding occurred in our area. More details about the alerts are available from the Environment Agency here.
