Flooding possible. Be prepared.
The River Arun is high in Pulborough, but now falling following Friday's rain. Through Saturday, minor flood impacts will continue to affect fields, the A29, gardens of properties on Lower Street and Swan Corner, Pulborough and Bridge Cottages, Greatham. Over high tides (14:45 07/12/2026, 03:15 and 15:30 08/02/2026) water will be high up banks near Houghton Bridge, Amberley, near St Edmunds Cottage, Houghton, and may affect Queen Street riverside properties, and Mill Road car park Arundel. With tides now falling, water levels on the tidal Arun should peak a little lower than recent days. Only isolated showers are forecast this weekend. River levels should continue to fall, but flood impacts will remain until next week. Unsettled weather could continue throughout February. On Tuesday and Wednesday bands of rain are forecast. If as much rain falls as predicted, from Wednesday evening, flooding could return. Our pumps in Pulborough are running to help reduce flood risk. Consider activating any flood protection products you may have. This message will be updated by 20:00 08/02/2026.
