The Western Rother is high, but slowly falling following Thursday's rain (04/01/2024). Flood water will remain in fields and affect roads, including at the eastern end of The Wharf, near The Wharf bridge. Land and fields near the Cowdray Ruins will also be affected by flood water, while the river level lowers. A Flood Alert remains in force to describe minor flood impacts on the whole of the Western Rother. Very little rain is forecast for the next five days. The river should continue to fall, and return to a more normal level by Saturday (06/01/2024). As a precaution, please keep flood protection products in place until the weekend. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. We will reissue this Flood Warning if the risk of property flooding increases.
