Flood alert for Tidal Thames riverside from Putney Bridge to Teddington Weir

River levels are expected to be high as a result of spring tides and high river flows.

The forecast high tide at Richmond is 4.90m at 04:15 on and 4.95m at 16:15 on Saturday 19th October 2024. Flooding of low-lying roads and footpaths is expected, which may exist for one to two hours either side of high tide. Flooding of properties is not expected.

There is a possibility of flooding for Putney Embankment (SW15), Chiswick Mall and Strand on the Green (W4), Thames Bank at Mortlake (SW14), Ranelagh Drive (TW1), Friars Lane and Water Lane (TW9), Riverside and The Embankment at Twickenham, and the Towpath below Teddington Lock.

Astronomical tide levels are rising. The river flow at Teddington Weir is high for this time of year at 142 cubic metres per second and is steady. We anticipate the flows to remain high for the next five days.
