Sussex: Roads flooded as weather warning is lifted

A flood alert, external remains in force for Scrase Bridge and West Common streams in Haywards Heath and Lindfield, according to the Environment Agency.

A spokesperson said further showers were expected and “any river rise and flooding will likely occur quickly following intense downpours”.

A waterfront cafe in Bexhill closed its doors on Friday due to the risk of flooding.

Oceanside Cafe wrote on its Facebook page that it was “unfair to put staff and customers in a position where we could get flooded in”.

Gatwick Airport said at 12:45 BST it was seeing average delays on flights of around 40 minutes due to the weather.

Grahame Madge, from the Met Office, said: “Within the warning area we will see some heavy outbreaks of rain, possibly accompanied by lightning”.
