FLASH flooding has caused major traffic delays.

There is queuing on the A27 westbound from the Falmer turning towards Brighton and beyond. Queues have come to a standstill on the Falmer Road as cars try to navigate heavy floods blocking the road in places in Rottingdean and in Woodingdean. Motorists are urged to be aware there is a danger of aquaplaning.

Portslade village has also flooded, according to reports.

It comes as thunder and lightning hangs over Brighton and heavy downpours continue.
