The Western Rother is higher than normal between Lodsbridge near Selham, and Fittleworth but now falling. Flood water will continue to affect fields, roads, and gardens, and be close to isolated Mill properties at Fittleworth. Between Liss and Midhurst river levels have already fallen near to normal. A small amount of light rain is expected Saturday afternoon. Less than 5mm of rain. Only a minimal rise in river level is expected Saturday evening. There is uncertainty in Sunday's weather. It is probable another small amount of rain will occur (less than 10mm). River rise should again be small Sunday morning. However, a less likely scenario suggests 20mm of rain could be possible, which may cause minor flooding from 12:00 on 22/02/2026, affecting fields, rural roads, gardens, and potentially isolated mill properties at Lodsbridge near Selham and Fittleworth. Less rain and flood risk is predicted next week. Consider activating any flood protection products you may have in Lodsbridge and Fittleworth. This message will be updated by 20:00 on 22/02/2026.
