Flooding possible. Be prepared.
High river levels on Tuesday may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on 27 January 2026 , as a lot of rain fell in Storm Chandra (36mm).
Flooding is affecting low-lying land and the road at Rectory Road, nearest the railway line at West Dean as well as properties in West Dean. River levels and flood risk will remain high throughout most of the evening. The river levels should begin to fall by tomorrow morning (28/01/2026). Only a small amount of rain is forecast over the next 48 hours, giving the river a chance to recover.
We are monitoring rainfall and river levels and we continue to monitor the forecast.
Consider activating any flood protection products you may have and we recommend moving cars parked close to the river in West Dean.
This message will be updated by 3:00PM on 28 January 2026 or as the situation changes.
