Those affected included the A23 Brighton Road at Honeycrock Lane in Salfords, the A27 in Lewes at Ashcombe Roundabout, and the A22 in Godstone, southbound between the Naggs Hall Roundabout and Hart's Lane.

The A28 in Hastings Between the A21 Sedlescombe Road North and Wheel Lane, A29 Bury Road between Watersfield and the A283 at Pulborough and Charlwood Road at Preston Lane have also been affected by flooding.
