The Daily Mail says an urgent alert has been issued because a tidal wave is threatening coastal areas of England and Europe.

"A three-metre tidal surge is predicted to surge down the English Channel in the next 12 hours posing an "extreme danger to life and property", experts have warned.

Coupled with storms and high tides, the wave could leave swathes of the east coast under water, according to the Environment Agency.

A combination of gale force winds off the coast of Scotland and high tides are expected to cause floods which could breach sea defences."

European forecasters today warned of high winds, extreme snowfall and avalanches.

Earlier today Dutch port authorities prepared to close Europe's largest harbour in Rotterdam to defend against predicted storm surges and winds of up to 60mph.

Gusts of up to 78mph were expected in Germany and Denmark and "extreme" amounts of fresh snow were forecast on the northern fringe of the Alps.

The Environment Agency is advising worried homeowners to call the floodline: 0845 988 1188.
