Flood warnings have been issued across Wales and the South West of England, with 60 flood warnings in force and 13 specific warnings across Wales. The Environment Agency has highlighted that flooding is expected over the morning high tides on Tuesday and Wednesday in areas including the North Cornwall Coast, River Brit, Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall coasts & Portland Harbour, primarily due to high spring tides and high groundwater levels following weeks of wet weather. Additionally, a significant natural event, the Severn Bore, is drawing attention along the River Severn, with the BBC reporting on the only five-star bore of the year, and the first in daylight since 2019. This comes as parts of the region, including the seafront in Town and The Bridge, experience flooding, with recent plans for a flood defense wall at The Bridge facing criticism.
