River levels near Shermanbury have fallen significantly and continue to fall, following Friday's rain. Minor flooding affecting fields could continue through Sunday. Light rain is forecast for much of Sunday 07/12/2025. A small river rise is probable Sunday afternoon. Water levels will not rise as high as they were on Saturday, and should begin to fall by 05:00 on 08/12/2025. Less rain is forecast Monday. River levels should return nearer to normal by Monday evening. However another band of rain in the early hours of Tuesday will likely increase flood risk again. We are closely monitoring the situation. Don't put yourself or others at risk. Avoid roads that flood, including the A281 at Mock Bridge. This message will be updated by 12:00 on 08/12/2025.
