If it comes off as predicted, that would put high water about half a
metre higher than the highest tide I've ever seen in Langstone
Harbour... and that was disturbingly close to the top of the sea wall.

I'm more sure than ever that moving uphill was a good decision.


Generally tides are about 0.2m higher in Portsmouth than Southampton.
Recent record exceptional high tides at Southampton were 5.6m in 1999
and 5.7m in 1989 so perhaps 5.8m and 5.9m in Langstone.

Is the geopotentials

putting tomorrows LOW on a more southerly track than the METO were
projecting?
If it ended up going up the English Channel it would be more serious
