14 Severe flood warning were issued for the South West this morning.

The North Somerset Coast was on alert with Minehead, Blue Achour and Burnham seafronts closed for safety. Watchet Harbour was exceptionally high with the waves pushing up the drainage covers.

This unusually high tide has been caused by the High Spring tide and the wind direction and unusual storm weather throughout the UK over the last few weeks.
