The River Arun is high, but now slowly falling at Pulborough, following Sunday's rain. 6-15mm of rain (possibly falling as snow) is expected this afternoon (08/01/2025), which could lead to river rise. Flooding will continue to affect the A29 at Pulborough. Water will be extensive through fields and will affect gardens and properties on Lower Street and Swan Corner, Pulborough, near to Swan Bridge and Bridge Cottages, Greatham. For four hours after each high tide (18:00 and 06:00), water will be close to the tops of the banks near Houghton Bridge, Amberley and Houghton, but should peak lower than Monday. Only minimal impacts are expected in Arundel. Another 2-6mm of rain is forecast for Friday. The river should continue to fall, but will remain higher than normal all week. Flood protection products are recommended to be kept 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 09/01/2025.
