Flood warnings in Richmond as high tides expected all week

By The Editor

26th May 2021 | Local News

Particularly high tides on the Thames are expected for the rest of the week and the Environment Agency has issued flood warnings for properties between Putney and Teddington.

This is when to expect high tide at Richmond Lock over the next few days and the Spring bank holiday weekend:

Thursday 27: 3:52am and 4.20pm with river levels of up to 5.3m

Friday 28: 4:39am and 5.05pm with river levels of up to 5.5m

Saturday 29: 5.27am and 5.50pm with water reaching 5.5m

Sunday 30: 6:15am and 6.35pm with a height of 5.3m

Monday 31: 7:06am and 7.22pm with a high tide height of 4.9m

The Environment Agency's flood alert is in force for the Tidal Thames riverside from Putney Bridge to Teddington Weir.

The alert is likely to be in force for the rest of the week and possibly across the weekend.

The Environment Agency said undefended roads and footpaths will flood at high tide, not properties.

Yesterday it said: "The river flow at Teddington Weir is high for this time of year at 145 cubic metres per second and is steady.

"We anticipate the flows to remain high for the next few days. We are closely monitoring the situation."
