The prevailing weather forecast, along with high tides and large waves means that flooding from the sea is expected. Gale Force winds also means that a combination of wave overtopping, spray and debris may result in the closure of the Churchill Barriers.

The highest risk is either side of the high tides, which are on Thursday 22nd January at 01:15GMT and 13:30GMT, and Friday 23rd January at 02:00GMT.
