Several places around Sussex were flooded over the weekend, as the Met Office releases a yellow warning for rain from 5am until 12pm tomorrow (November 14).

A band of squally, thundery rain is likely to push quickly east across the warning area through Tuesday morning, sweeping over East and West Sussex and Brighton & Hove.

The Met Office says sudden, torrential downpours will bring 15-20 mm of rain in a short period of time. Showers will likely be accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Gusts of winds to 40-50 mph are also likely, as is hail. The last of the showers should clear into the North Sea late Tuesday morning.

What to expect

  • Probably some damage to a few buildings and structures from lightning strikes or strong and gusty winds
  • There is a good chance driving conditions will be affected by spray, standing water and/or hail, leading to longer journey times by car and bus
  • Delays to train services and journeys by plane are possible
  • Some short term loss of power and other services is likely
