  1. Flood alert Groundwater flooding in Patcham Brighton and HoveGroundwater
    Message

    Groundwater is high, close to the surface, but slowly falling at Ladies Mile borehole. A small amount of water could still be appearing in a few basements, although likely to be infrequently now. Previous events suggest impacts may initially affect Old London Road, Patcham and Peacock Lane, Withdean. Only small amounts of rain are forecast over the five days to 10/03/2026, and groundwater at Ladies Mile borehole will continue to slowly fall over the coming week. Groundwater flood impacts are likely to stop being visible soon. There is a suggestion that unsettled conditions and periods of rain could return next week and through the second half of March 2026. However, it is probable that groundwater will continue to fall throughout March. However, if there is persistent, or exceptional rainfall in late March, groundwater may rise at times. Ensure pumps work. We are liaising with Brighton and Hove City Council. We will update this message by 18:00 10/03/2026.

    Message

    Groundwater is high, close to the surface, but slowly falling at Ladies Mile borehole. A small amount of water could still be appearing in a few basements, although likely to be infrequently now. Previous events suggest impacts may initially affect Old London Road, Patcham and Peacock Lane, Withdean. Only small amounts of rain are forecast over the five days to 06/03/2026, and groundwater at Ladies Mile borehole will continue to slowly fall over the coming week. There is a suggestion that high pressure, settled conditions, and only small amounts of rain could continue in the south east of England through the first half of March 2026. Which would allow groundwater to fall for longer. However, with groundwater being as high as it is, groundwater flood impacts could still continue through the first week of March. Ensure pumps work. We are liaising with Brighton and Hove City Council. We will update this message by 18:00 06/03/2026.

  4. Flood alert Groundwater flooding in Patcham Brighton and HoveGroundwater
    Message

    Groundwater is high, close to the surface, but slowly falling again at Ladies Mile borehole. A small amount of water could appear in a few basements. Previous events suggest impacts may initially affect Old London Road, Patcham and Peacock Lane, Withdean. Only isolated showers are forecast Monday to Wednesday 25/02/2026. Groundwater should continue to fall over the next few days. On Thursday 26/02/2026 a weather front is forecast to bring widespread rainfall. There is uncertainty in rainfall amounts, and predictions may change, but it is probable that groundwater at Ladies Mile borehole will rise again from Friday 27/02/2026 through to next week, perhaps longer in Patcham village. Groundwater levels should not rise significantly higher than they have been so far this winter. Groundwater flood impacts could continue until the middle of March. Weather could remain unsettled through March, although perhaps with rain less often. Ensure pumps work. We are liaising with Brighton and Hove City Council. We will update this message by 18:00 27/02/2026.

Where this comes from. England’s current warnings come from the Environment Agency; Scotland’s come from SEPA Floodline. We check each every 15 minutes. Contains SEPA data © Scottish Environment Protection Agency and database right 2026. Used with permission. The history since 2006 covers Environment Agency warnings in England only. Welsh warnings come from Natural Resources Wales, checked every 15 minutes. Contains Natural Resources Wales information © Natural Resources Wales and Database Right. All rights Reserved.

The history is the Environment Agency’s record of every warning raised since 2006, which it publishes each quarter, joined to the warnings we have recorded live since. Each count is one warning or alert raised for one area; a warning that was later updated counts once. When a warning is removed that is not counted as a new warning. An area with no warnings on record can still flood.
