There are several flood warnings and alerts in force across the region this afternoon.
The main areas of concern include Fittleworth on the Western River Rother, Barcombe Mills on the River Ouse, and Alfriston along the Cuckmere River.
There are also alerts on the River Medway between Forest Row and Penshurst.
Officials warn that river levels may rise quickly following periods of heavy rain, increasing the risk of localised flooding. People living in affected areas are being advised to monitor river levels, check drains and gullies for blockages, and prepare to protect property where possible.
Motorists are being reminded not to drive through floodwater and to allow extra time for journeys, particularly during the evening rush hour. Train and bus passengers are also being advised to check for service updates before travelling.
The Environment Agency says it continues to monitor conditions closely and will issue further warnings if the situation worsens.
