With the recent high tides, flood alerts and warnings from the Environment agency, I thought it may be of interest to group together various sources of information that are useful to get an idea of what is being predicted and also actually happening. Piecing together tidal height prediction, tidal surge prediction, wind strength and direction can give a good indication of what is likely to occur. I have also included a couple of local sources that show current weather and tidal height.
