It's going to be a very high tide in Teddington this afternoon.

High tide will be around 2-2.30pm today (Tuesday, December 29).

"River levels are forecast to rise on the River Thames as a result of high tides coinciding with high river levels."
It added: "We expect river levels to remain high over the next few days.
"We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are operating weirs to reduce flood risk and in the area clearing weed and trash screens."
