Flooding possible. Be prepared.
The River Arun is higher than normal at Pallingham Lock. Minor flood impacts will continue to affect fields, roads, and gardens. Only scattered showers are forecast Thursday. River levels should not rise far. Friday's weather is uncertain. Rain is currently forecast from mid morning, but thought more likely to affect only the Sussex coastline, which should mean river levels will not rise on Friday. However, if more rain occurs further inland, from 14:00 13/02/2026 minor flooding could again affect fields, roads, and gardens of Tanbridge Park, Blackbridge Court, Arunside School fields, gardens of mill properties between Broadbridge Heath and Billingshurst, and near Pallingham Lock. Less rain is predicted on Saturday, which will allow river levels to fall. However more widespread rain and flood risk is forecast on Sunday. Unsettled weather could continue until March. Our automatic sluice at Provender Mill is operating to reduce flood risk. Consider activating any flood protection products you may have in Wanford. This message will be updated by 20:00 13/02/2026.
