Flooding possible. Be prepared.
The River Adur is a little higher than normal, but falling. Only isolated showers are forecast Thursday. River levels should not rise far. Friday's weather is uncertain. Rain is currently forecast from mid morning. If as much rain falls as predicted, from 15:00 13/02/2026 minor flooding could again affect fields, roads including possibly the A281 at Mock Bridge near Shermanbury, and gardens. Less rain is predicted on Saturday, which should allow the River Adur to fall. However more widespread rain and flood risk is forecast on Sunday. Unsettled weather could continue throughout February. Avoid roads that flood, including the A281 at Mock Bridge. This message will be updated by 20:00 13/02/2026.
