Flood alert

The Aldingbourne Rife is high following weeks of rain, but slowly falling. Minor flood impacts affecting fields, roads, and land at Riverside Caravan Centre will continue. Very little rain is forecast Tuesday and Wednesday but river levels will not fall far. More rain is forecast on Thursday and Friday (between 15 - 30mm) which may cause minor flooding to affect Barnham Road and Lake Lane, Barnham. The Aldingbourne Rife could rise 20cm, and may affect the car park at Tescos on Shripney Road from Thursday afternoon. River levels will remain higher than normal for weeks. River levels should again begin to slowly fall by Friday evening. We are clearing debris screens through Barnham. Our pumps at Felpham are running. Consider activating any flood protection products you may have. Avoid roads that flood (Barnham Rd and Lake Lane). This message will be updated by 20:00 on 25/02/2026.
