Aldingbourne and Barnham Rifes West SussexAldingbourne and Barnham Rifes
Message
The Aldingbourne Rife is high following weeks of rain, but slowly falling.
Minor flood impacts affecting fields, roads, and land at Riverside Caravan Centre will continue. Very little rain is forecast on Thursday but river levels will not fall far. More rain is forecast on Friday from 00:00 to 06:00 (5-10mm). River levels could rise a small amount, but only minimal flood impacts are expected. However, a less likely scenario suggests 20mm of rain could be possible, which may cause minor flooding to affect Barnham Road and Lake Lane, Barnham from Friday morning. The Aldingbourne Rife could rise 10cm. River levels will remain higher than normal for weeks. River levels should again begin to slowly fall by Saturday.
We are clearing debris screens through Barnham. Our pumps at Felpham are running.
Consider activating any flood protection products you may have.
Avoid roads that flood (Barnham Rd and Lake Lane).
