River levels in and near Alfriston are still higher than normal, but are currently falling. Minor flood impacts may continue to affect fields and rural roads Saturday 18/1/2020. River levels in Hellingly are already near normal. The next five days are predicted to stay dry. River levels in all locations will have fallen to near normal by Wednesday 22/1/2020. Longer term weather forecasting is very difficult and there is uncertainty whether the dry spell will continue into February. We will continue to monitor levels and forecasts and will reissue this message if the risk of flooding increases again.
