Odd! Not in my part of Worthing! 

There was heavy rain but not enough to cause that kind of flooding.

 

It’s just started spitting with rain after the earlier rain had almost dried up

 

Snap i am in chichester and not a drop

That's where reports of extreme flooding are coming from on Sussex traffic

If I remember the nearest is shoreham airport, there may be one at Worthing

Reports coming in that the Sussex storm has caused major flooding on the main A27 South coast link road around Worthing..

Reports of cars broken down in floodwater, stationary traffic and a fallen tree.

Looks like Thursday and Friday is my best chance of seeing storms. 60% chance Thursday and 52% chance on Friday. 

It'll be interesting to see what happens these next coming days though. 

 

I hear you, I live on the south coast but normally pass beside us...

Looking at the radar, there seems to be a new cell forming south of Chichester, it could be what I am looking at now from my front room

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]
