A number of flood warnings and flood alerts are in force across Surrey following heavy rain on Friday night. Roads were closed due to flooding – including the M25[1] and A3 – although these had reopened by Saturday morning (April 1).

Flood warnings – which mean flooding is expected and people should act now – are in place for two waterways. The Chertsey[2] Bourne at Thorpe Green including Green Road and Trumps Green and River Mole at Dorking[3] and Mickleham.
