Philip Prior, who sent a photo of flooding in Keynor Lane, Sidlesham, said: “Roads are horrible and it’s worse heading towards East Sussex.”
Southbrook Road in West Ashling is another area affected.
One reader sent a photo of Church Lane in Tangmere, where ‘a giant lake in the middle of the road’ had appeared.
It comes after Sussex experienced a month’s rainfall over the past week, including 20mm Thursday night.
