Weather forecast, click here for BBC local 5-day forecast
We are unlikely to see the sort of rainfall we experienced on Monday but conditions will continue to be unsettled over the next week, with showers interspersed with sunny intervals, hopefully the latter when the Lewes Guitar Festival bands are playing in the Gun Garden.
