Sarah Cook, Flood Duty Manager at the Environment Agency, said: “Over the coming days strong winds and high tides could lead to large waves and localised flooding along parts of the North East coastline from Berwick to areas of Tees Valley. We are advising people to sign up for flood warnings and to take extra care when walking along the coast – large waves can be dangerous.

“You can check your flood risk, sign up for free flood warnings and keep up to date with the latest situation at www.gov.uk/check-flood-risk, call Floodline on 0345 988 1188.”

The Environment Agency advises to avoid areas of risk and take care near coastal footpaths and promenades as large waves and spray are likely and to not drive through flood water or large waves.
