  38. Flood alert Groundwater flooding in Denton East SussexGroundwater
    Message

    Groundwater is high, close to the surface, but slowly rising again at the Houndean Bottom borehole. Springs will continue to appear, water could affect fields, the recreation ground, and a small number of cellars in Denton. Only small amounts of rain are forecast over the five days to 06/03/2026, and groundwater at Houndean Bottom 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. Take care on roads that flood (Denton Road). Ensure pumps work. We will monitor, and update this message by 18:00 06/03/2026.

    Groundwater is high, very close to the surface, but now falling. Springs will continue to appear, water will be in fields, small amounts of water will flow down roads, groundwater will affect the ability of the sewage network to operate in East Dean, Charlton, Singleton and West Dean, and may appear in a small number of basements. Only small amounts of rain are forecast over the five days to 06/03/2026, and groundwater at both Chilgrove and East Dean boreholes will continue to slowly fall over the coming week.

An area with no warnings on record can still flood.
