River levels are slowly falling in Crowhurst and Bulverhythe, and will continue falling Tuesday night. However, there remains uncertainty in the weather forecast, particularly around rainfall amounts and locations.

More rain than we expected fell Tuesday night. River levels in Crowhurst and Bulverhythe are elevated, but stable. A few more showers are possible Wednesday morning and evening, which could cause river levels to rise higher. We do not currently think there will be enough rain to flood property, but minor flooding could affect fields, rural roads, recreation grounds and approach gardens of riverside properties in Crowhurst and Bulverhythe. After Wednesday evening's showers, it should stay mostly dry until Saturday. The river should begin to slowly fall by Thursday afternoon, returning to nearer normal by Friday in Crowhurst, but not until next week in Bulverhythe. Please keep flood protection products installed in Crowhurst, if you have them. We continue to monitor the levels and forecast. We will update this message by 12:00 24/12/2020, earlier if risk of flooding increases significantly.
