Fittleworth on the Western Rother

The Western Rother is high, but now falling, following Tuesday's rain. Flood impacts will continue to affect Fittleworth Mill, gardens, rural roads, and fields. Small amounts of rain are forecast Thursday evening, Friday evening, and Saturday. River levels will likely rise again from 06:00 30/01/2026 and could keep rising until Sunday. Could be possible for the river to return as high as recent events, affecting fields, roads, gardens, and be very close to Fittleworth Mill and nearby properties. River levels should finally begin to fall on Sunday in Fittleworth. However more rain is forecast Monday afternoon, which will cause the river to rise again and further flooding could be possible next week. Keep in place any flood protection products you may have in place. This message will be updated by 14:00 30/01/2026.
