The Western Rother is high at Fittleworth and higher than normal at Lodsbridge near Selham. Minor flood impacts will continue to affect Fittleworth Mill and nearby properties, and fields, roads, and gardens near Lodsbridge. Light rain is forecast for much of Sunday. River levels all along the Western Rother are expected to rise again. In most communities the Western Rother should not rise as high as recent events. Only minor flood impacts are expected to affect fields, roads, and gardens. Including gardens of isolated mill properties at Lodsbridge near Selham. River levels are likely to be higher than normal through to Monday. More rain is forecast Monday evening and through Tuesday, which will cause the river to rise again. Keep in place any flood protection products you may have. Including in Lodsbridge and Fittleworth. This message will be updated by 17:00 02/02/2026.
