Flood warnings have been issued for the tidal River Waveney from Ellingham Marshes to Belton and also for riverside properties along the tidal River Yare, including Cantley, Brundall and Reedham.

This means that flooding is expected in those areas and that immediate action may be required to prevent the flooding of homes and businesses.

Whilst yesterday's flooding was a result of the storm surges, today will see high tides due to waters moving up river from Great Yarmouth, as well as the effect of spring tides exacerbated by the weather.

The flood gates at Felixstowe will be closed today whilst the waterfront at Pin Mill and the Strand at Wherstead under the Orwell Bridge may be flooded.

Quayside Road in Woodbridge was completely submerged yesterday and had to be closed by police - today there is still a risk of flooding in riverside areas.
