The Bureau of Meteorology has warned Monday evening\u2019s high tide is \u201cexpected to be about as high\u201d as the one on June 24, 2025.<\/p>\n
It has warned that \u201csimilar inundation impacts are possible\u201d.<\/p>\n
That event submerged South Arm Road at Lauderdale, put a jetty on Hobart\u2019s eastern shore underwater and flooded waterfront car parks at Sandy Bay and Margate.<\/p>\n
The Esplanade at Huonville was also closed.<\/p>\n

The bureau says tides are likely to rise well above the normal high tide mark during the Sunday and Monday evening high tides.<\/p>\n
Low-lying coastal areas between Southport and Maria Island are most at risk.<\/p>\n
Hobart, Bruny Island, Huonville, Dover and Port Arthur are among the areas that may be affected.<\/p>\n
The warning comes as cold and blustery weather sweeps across Tasmania, with strong westerly winds and showers lashing much of the state.<\/p>\n
In Hobart, the temperature sat at just under 10 degrees at 1:50pm, but felt more like three degrees with the wind chill.<\/p>\n
The bureau has also issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds across King Island, the Furneaux Islands and parts of the west and north-west.<\/p>\n
Winds averaging 60 to 70km\/h, with gusts above 110km\/h, are forecast to develop across the south-west on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
The bureau says the winds should ease from the south-west on Monday evening, clearing the Furneaux Islands by late Monday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parts of southern Tasmania could be flooded by seawater on Monday as abnormally high tides return to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":795218,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[64,63,75,128],"class_list":["post-795217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-environment","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795217\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
