A flood warning has been issued for the Isles of Scilly.
The Environment Agency has advised flooding is expected at St Mary's, St Agnes, Bryher, Tresco and St Martin's on Thursday morning.
It said the forecast tide level and sea conditions could cause coastal flooding such as the overtopping of sea defences, sea spray and flying debris in exposed areas.
The agency urged people to be cautious two hours before and after the high tide at 07:17 BST due to high water levels of the 5.79m (19ft) tide.
