  1. Flood alert Aldingbourne and Barnham Rifes West SussexAldingbourne and Barnham Rifes
    Message

    High river levels on Thursday may lead to flooding. 
    Flooding is possible on 27 August 2026 from 03:00 as intense (but uncertain) rainfall is forecast. 
    Up to 40mm of rain could occur, but there is low confidence in location. If as much rain falls as predicted, then flooding could affect Barnham Road, Lake Lane, and a small number of riverside properties in Marshall Close, Barnham. We are not currently expecting the Aldingbourne Rife to flood, but there may be some surface water flooding in the area. Only localised showers are forecast from Thursday afternoon. River levels and flood risk should begin to reduce by 08:30AM on 27/08/2026 in Barnham. River levels in Bersted should fall from Friday (28/08/2026). 
    We are closely monitoring the situation and clearing debris screens through Barnham. Pumps at Felpham are running. 
    Consider activating any flood protection products you may have including in Barnham. Avoid roads that flood (Barnham Road and Lake Lane). 
    This message will be updated by 11:00AM on 27 August 2026 or as the situation changes.

    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.

    Minor flood impacts affecting fields, roads, and land at Riverside Caravan Centre will continue. Very little rain is forecast Wednesday and Thursday, but river levels will not fall far. More rain is forecast on Friday (between 10 - 20mm) which may cause minor flooding to affect Barnham Road and Lake Lane, Barnham. The Aldingbourne Rife could rise 20cm. However, a less likely scenario suggests 30mm of rain could be possible, which may affect the car park at Tesco on Shripney Road from Friday morning.

What the three levels mean

Flood alert

Flooding is possible. Be prepared. Keep an eye on local river levels and forecasts, and get ready to move valuables and put flood protection in place.

Flood warning

Flooding is expected. Immediate action required. Move family, pets and valuables to safety, turn off gas, electricity and water if it is safe to, and put flood protection in place.

Severe flood warning

Severe flooding. Danger to life. Stay in a safe place with a means of escape, and follow the advice of the emergency services. Call 999 if you are in immediate danger.

Where this comes from. Warnings in force are the Environment Agency’s own, which we check every 15 minutes. They cover England only: for Wales see Natural Resources Wales, for Scotland SEPA Floodline, and for Northern Ireland nidirect.

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.
