Flood alerts have been issued for long stretches of the Devon and Cornwall coast with high tides backed by strong winds tomorrow and into Monday.
The Environment Agency has issued three flood warnings and 26 flood alerts with “overtopping” forecast at many coastal locations.
It said: “Astronomical tide heights are increasing towards spring tides, peaking on Monday. Spray overtopping may lead to minor flooding over the high tides from Sunday Morning through until Monday evening. Property flooding is not expected.
“This is in combination with force six southerly winds and offshore waves of two metres. Overtopping is likely at exposed coastal locations especially along the edges of quays and sea walls.
“Environment Agency staff will be monitoring conditions and operating coastal defences. This information will be updated after the high tide on Sunday morning.”
