The conditions have caused chaos for drivers and commuters and left part of the A26 near Hadlow looking like a "swimming pool", while a caravan park has been evacuated for the second time in three weeks.

KCC Highways described the situation as "severe" and said the road had been shut between the A228 roundabout and Common Lane.

The authority is dealing with 60 road closures.
