Yellow Weather Warning Issued for Sussex

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for West Sussex, predicting heavy rain and potential disruption from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

The warning highlights that rain will begin late Tuesday, with parts of West Sussex experiencing persistent and heavy downpours overnight. Rainfall totals are expected to range between 15-20mm across most areas, with some places seeing 30-40mm and isolated areas potentially receiving up to 50mm before the rain clears by early afternoon Wednesday.

Disruption to travel and infrastructure is likely, with bus and train services expected to face delays. Drivers are warned of hazardous road conditions due to spray and flooding. Additionally, there is a risk of flooding to homes and businesses, as well as potential interruptions to power supplies and other essential services.

This warning follows last week’s chaos caused by Storm Bert, which resulted in significant travel and infrastructure issues across the region. Residents are advised to stay informed and plan their journeys accordingly.
