South Australians will now receive Coastal Hazard Warnings for abnormally high tides in coastal locations. These warnings were previously only issued for Gulf St Vincent and Spencer Gulf.
Abnormally high tides are sea levels that are higher than the usual highest tides and could lead to flooding of low-lying coastal areas. Learn more about Coastal Hazard Warnings on the Bureau of Meteorology (the Bureau) website.
The Bureau will issue Coastal Hazard Warnings in South Australia through bom.gov.au and the BOM Weather app. Marine wind warnings and coastal forecasts and observations will continue to be issued to inform people about marine conditions.
You can stay up-to-date with the latest warnings on the Bureau's website, or download the BOM Weather app and set warning notifications for your location.
If a hazard is in the area you are visiting, follow the advice of local emergency services.
