In Midhurst, water could approach North Mill and properties near Cowdray ruins. A further 5mm of rain is possible through the early hours of Friday. Very little rainfall is forecast from Friday daytime through to next week. The river should begin to fall by 12:00 05/01/2024, but will be higher than normal until Saturday. Vehicles are advised to be moved to higher ground. Some roads may become impassable, please plan to avoid driving through routes vulnerable to flooding.
