Due to the large amount of rainfall and the rising tide, Monktonmead Brook in Ryde has burst its banks.
High tide is expected to peak around Midday.
Residents who have experienced flooding in The Strand and surrounding areas are advised to take precautions to protect their property as water levels may rise further.
Protect valuables
Valuables should be moved to high level rooms and if residents have sandbags, these should be deployed.
The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is currently working on site with high volume pumping equipment and additional resources to protect property from further flooding
Prioritisation is being given to those most at risk.
Regular updates on the situation will be provided to local media.
