The warning followed incidents last night when some people had to be rescued from cars after driving into flood water.
Many homes and businesses in West Sussex were also affected by flooding.
The spokesperson added: “Overnight torrential rain led to fire crews being called to hundreds of surface water-related flooding incidents across West Sussex.”
