It’s going to be a wet start to the week.
A yellow warning for rain covering parts of North Yorkshire has been issued by the Met Office.
It covers the northern part of the county, including Helmsley and Thirsk.
It came into force at 6am and runs until 3pm. As a result, people should expect:
- Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
- Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer
- Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible
- Some interruption to power supplies and other services possible.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “We’ve had a very wet November and start to December. So, travel disruption, flooding, and possible flooding of businesses and homes over the next day or two could be quite significant.
“It’s worth paying close attention to the latest situation both on the Met Office website, and also if you have travel plans over the next few hours and few days to come.”
