Arun
The River Arun is still high and rising in places following Wednesday's heavy rain. The Arun is now falling in Horsham, but minor flooding will continue to affect grassy areas and gardens of Tanbridge Park and Blackbridge Court and possibly fields behind Arunside and playground of Arunside School. River levels closer to Pulborough are likely to keep slowly rising until approximately 16:00 21/10/2021. As a result, flood water will be very close to isolated riverside properties between Broadbridge Heath and Pallingham Lock. Some water could also affect the A272 Newbridge road near Billingshurst. Very little rain is forecast until Sunday, which will allow the river a chance to stabilise by Friday, however a return to more normal flows is not expected until next week.
