Storm Goretti has caused flooding, power cuts, water outages and travel disruption across parts of Sussex and Kent. Flooding was reported on a coastal road at Cooden Beach in Bexhill, East Sussex, while flood warnings were in place for low-lying coastal areas including Climping, in West Sussex, and Pevensey.

A year later, in January 2025, an unnamed storm brought rapidly thawing snow and more flooding to the county. In total, 883 properties were damaged and more than 100 businesses disrupted. Three rest centres were opened and nearly 90 people were rescued by boat.

A flood warning has been issued for Pevensey seafront, where high tides linked to Storm Goretti could result in coastal flooding on January 9

Specific flood warnings, however, are not currently issued for Northern Ireland.

In the week which saw Storm Goretti hit large parts of the UK, a new study shows that, in terms of worries over the possibility of getting flooded, Harrogate rank, perhaps, surprisingly highly. The study examined Google searches for flood-related terms to determine which areas are the most concerned about flooding.
