A flood alert, specifically issued for Tuesday, January 18, centers around the tidal Thames at Chiswick, placing a focused emphasis on local implications.

Anticipated high river levels result from spring tides, a phenomenon characteristic of this time of year, elevating the risk of flooding for various parks and streets adjacent to the riverbank in Chiswick.

Noteworthy London areas with potential flooding include:

Ravenscourt Park
Shepherds Bush
Stamford Brook
Turnham Green
Chiswick Park

The forecast points to a high tide at 6:30 pm in Richmond.

Government sources indicate the likelihood of flooding on low-lying roads and footpaths, spanning up to two hours on either side of the high tide.

Importantly, these floods are not expected to inflict damage on properties.

Additionally, the flow at Teddington Weir is forecasted to remain above normal for this time of year in the Chiswick area for the next couple of days.
