Groundwater flooding in Patcham

Warning no longer in force

Groundwater is high, close to the surface, but currently falling at the Ladies Mile borehole. Minor groundwater flood impacts could still be affecting a small number of basements in Patcham and Peacock Lane, Withdean. However, only scattered showers are forecast over the week ahead, and groundwater levels will continue to fall with flood impacts easing. Groundwater will not fall far or fast, approximately 30cm each day. Groundwater will remain higher than normal throughout March and April. Unsettled weather is forecast for the last week of March and first half of April. If exceptional rainfall occurs, groundwater could yet rise again over the coming months. If average rainfall occurs, groundwater should slowly fall through to autumn. If you have pumps to help reduce groundwater levels in your property, ensure they are operational. We will continue to monitor levels and forecasts and liaise with Brighton and Hove City Council. We continue to publish groundwater briefing notes. We will re issue this Flood Alert if new instances of groundwater flooding are possible.
