One Environment Agency warning states high water levels are forecast to affect the foreshore from Ramsgate to Kingsdown as a result of high spring tides, while another will impact the coast from St Margaret's at Cliffe to Sandgate.

“Flooding to roads and low-lying land is expected at these times, however, these conditions may apply two to four hours on either side of high tide,” the warning states.

“We expect flooding to affect coastal areas, particularly low-lying land and roads nearest the sea and low lying land along the tidal Stour.

“We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are liaising with emergency services and our partners and actively monitoring the situation and are prepared to respond if required.”

The alert will be updated tomorrow afternoon.
