Officials 'monitoring high tide' after warnings

High tide levels and large waves are expected to lead to flooding along the Humber Estuary, officials said

The Environment Agency has said it will "continue to monitor the high tide" amid warnings of possible flooding along the Humber Estuary.

High tide levels and large waves had been expected to lead to flooding around Hessle foreshore, including Hessle Haven, between 07:00 and 08:00 BST on Wednesday.

The agency said there was no flooding earlier but the warning would remain in place as flooding was possible between 08:00 and 09:00 on Thursday.

It said large waves and sea spray "would be dangerous" and people were advised to stay away from beaches, promenades, coastal footpaths and roads.

A flood warning is also in place for the North Sea coast around Easington, with properties to the east, including caravan parks, at greatest risk.
