Flooding possible. Be prepared.
This alert is being issued early, in advance of possible heavy rain. 10-20mm of rain is forecast from the early hours of Monday, but as much as 60-70mm is possible. If as much rain falls as predicted, flooding could be possible. From 04:00 on 21/07/2025, flooding could affect roads, and approach a small number of properties on Thanet Way, Pegwell Close and Manston Way as well as areas in Alexandra Park, Hastings. It is possible some water could flow down Queens Road, Hastings. Further showers are predicted until the end of the week. The river should begin to fall by midday, and should return to normal shortly after. Properties close to the river on Thanet Way, Manston Way and Pegwell Close should consider preparing options to keep water from their homes. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. We will update this message by 12:00 on 21/07/2025.
