From 1pm, the Environment Agency warns the water level could be high enough to cause garden flooding to properties located immediately next to the river, in Marsh Road (Gurnard).

It said: "Until the level falls with the lowering tide, please keep away from the river at Gurnard Road Bridge.

"Water will be deep and fast flowing."
