Environment Agency regional manager, Simon Hughes, said: "Our hearts and sincere sympathy go out to those who have already experienced flooding.
"Our teams remain out in all conditions working around the clock, day and night, to protect lives, homes, businesses, communities and farmland across the region. This vital work will carry on non-stop 24/7 for as long as it is needed.
“This is already the wettest January England has experienced since records began in 1766, and we are moving towards December, January and February being the wettest winter in 250 years.
"Further heavy rain is forecast for the remainder of this week and the weekend, bringing with it the risk of further flooding across the South East. The situation is likely to get worse before it gets better."
