Flooding of low-lying roads and footpaths is expected, which may exist for one to two hours either side of high tide. Flooding of properties is not expected.

It is believed that there is a possibility of flooding for Putney Embankment, Chiswick Mall and Strand on the Green, Thames Bank at Mortlake, Ranelagh Drive (TW1), Friars Lane and Water Lane, Riverside and The Embankment at Twickenham, and the Towpath below Teddington Lock.

Astronomical tide levels are falling/rising.

It is anticipated that the flows will remain high for the next few days.

The situation is being closely monitored and updates will be given later today or as the situation changes.
