Get flood warnings by phone, text or email

The River Arun is high. Nearly a month's rain (80mm) has been recorded over the past week. River levels are expected to rise again through Wednesday and Thursday. From 08:00 28/11/2024 flooding could affect the A29 at Pulborough. Water will be extensive through fields and could affect gardens and approach properties on Lower Street and Swan Corner, Pulborough, near to Swan Bridge and Bridge Cottages, Greatham. Over each high tide, water will be close to the tops of the banks near Houghton Bridge, Amberley and may approach riverside properties, including near St Edmunds Cottage, Houghton. We do not currently expect flood impacts in Arundel, but the river will be high. Only isolated showers are forecast through to Saturday. The river in Pulborough could continue rising until Friday morning, and might not return to normal until next week. Flood protection products are recommended to be 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 16:00 28/11/2024.

Flood alert area: The Rivers Arun, Chilt, Stor and Tortington Stream.
