Only light rain is forecast on Friday afternoon 27/03/2026, with predominantly fine weather over the next 5 days to Tuesday 31/03/2026, although a brief and isolated shower could be possible at times. Groundwater at both Chilgrove and East Dean boreholes is expected to continue to fall. It is probable that groundwater will continue to fall throughout the remainder of spring and summer, although the sewage network may continue to be affected by groundwater until mid April. Take care on roads that flood (Chilgrove, West Dean, Singleton, East Dean). Ensure pumps work. We will update this message by 18:00 on 31/03/2026.
