Six flood alerts have been put in place across Kent and Medway.

People have been warned of the likelihood of flooding in coastal areas amid concerns about tomorrow morning's high tides.

Warnings are in place from Dartford to Allhallows, Whitstable to Margate, Sheppey and the coast from Kemsley to Seasalter, the tidal Medway, Medway Estuary and Isle of Grain, Ramsgate to Kingsdown and St Margaret's at Cliffe to Sandgate.

Flooding is possible two hours either side of high tide, between 11pm tonight and 3am tomorrow morning, with strong winds and unsettled weather causing higher water levels than normal.

A spokesperson said: "This Flood Alert has been issued due to the high tide expected to affect coastal and tidal locations tomorrow morning, Wednesday, February 2.

"Flooding will affect lower lying locations nearest the Thames and sea throughout each area.

"The unsettled weather is likely to continue over the coming days so some further periods of flooding are possible this week, we will issue further messages if required.

"Please be careful and avoid contact with flood waters present. We will continue to monitor this situation, and have staff prepared to respond if needed."
