The River Arun is high but falling. Minor flooding will continue to affect the A29 at Pulborough. Water will be extensive through fields and will affect gardens of properties on Lower Street and Swan Corner, Pulborough, near to Swan Bridge and Bridge Cottages, Greatham. For four hours after high tides (23:00 29/01/2025, and 12:00 30/01/2025) water will be in fields, and close to the tops of the banks near Houghton Bridge, Amberley. Other than water in fields, no flood impacts are expected in Arundel. Another period of rain is forecast Wednesday afternoon and evening, with only isolated showers from Thursday. There remains uncertainty in the rainfall amounts and locations, but the most likely scenario is for river levels to continue to fall, although they will remain higher than normal until next week. As a precaution, keep flood protection products installed in Pulborough, Amberley and Arundel, if you have them. Our pumps in Pulborough are running to help reduce the risk of flooding. We will update this message by 14:00 30/01/2025.
