The River Arun is still high near Pulborough, following Sunday's rain, but water levels are falling in all communities. Minor flood impacts will continue to affect fields, gardens, and rural roads near Pallingham Lock. River levels in and near Horsham and Broadbridge Heath have already fallen significantly and are near to normal. Another period of rain is forecast Wednesday afternoon and evening. There remains uncertainty in the rainfall amounts and locations, ranging from 5-20mm. The most likely scenario is for a very small river rise. Minor flood impacts will continue near Pallingham Lock. Flood impacts are not expected in Horsham or Broadbridge Heath. From Thursday afternoon only isolated showers are forecast and flood risk should slowly reduce. Our automatic sluice at Provender Mill is operating to help reduce the risk of flooding through Horsham. We will update this message by 14:00 30/01/2025.
