There are 18 flood warnings around North Yorkshire this morning (Monday), as Storm Darragh continues to cause problems.

Flooding is expected on the River Foss upstream of Yearsley Baths, the River Derwent at Buttercrambe Mill and Pickering Beck.

A yellow weather warning for high winds remains in place until 6pm today.

More rain is forecast for today, and it could be heavy in parts of North Yorkshire.

The Met Office said heavy rain was expected to persist today, with 20-25mm forecast to fall across much of the country.

As much as 60mm could fall over high ground of the North York Moors.

Police are asking drivers to take care, as debris and trees falls are still causing problems. Never drive through flood water.
