Flooding expected. Take action now.
The River Uck is high and rising, following Thursday morning's heavy rain. Nearly half a month's rain has been recorded (40mm) at Buxted. From 09:00 on 03/11/2022 flooding will affect fields, rural roads, gardens and riverside properties through Buxted, near the White Hart pub and areas around Hempstead Mill on Hempstead Lane, Uckfield. A further 15mm of rain is expected Thursday morning, before a drier period is forecast around midday Thursday. The river should begin to fall by 15:00 Thursday 03/11/2022. Flood impacts should begin to slowly ease when river levels start to fall. However, further rain is possible through the early hours of Friday, so river levels might not return to normal until Friday afternoon 04/11/2022. Riverside properties in Buxted are encouraged to install flood protection products if you have them and take steps to reduce the impact of flooding. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. We will update this message by 17:00 on 03/11/2022.
