Cuckmere River

Warning no longer in force

The Cuckmere River has fallen significantly from last week's peak in Alfriston and Hellingly. 10mm of rain on Sunday 08/12/2024 led to minor river rise overnight, but did not lead to any flooding impacts. 5mm of rain is forecast for Monday 09/12/2024, but this is not expected to lead to significant river rise. River levels should return to nearer to normal levels from Tuesday 10/12/2024. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. We will reissue this message if flooding of properties is possible.
