“Heavy and persistent rain will continue to affect western parts of both West and North Yorkshire through the course of Boxing Day. The heaviest rain is expected to occur this morning, before easing for a time this afternoon. A further spell of heavy rain is then likely this evening before a clearance takes place from the northwest.
Please take action to remain safe and protect property: widespread flooding will lead to high levels of disruption to travel, deep, fast-flowing watercourses and an associated possible danger to life.
A band of rain has become slow-moving across the region. 30 to 60 mm of rain has already fallen widely, with a further 30 to 50 mm expected in some places. Some upland areas may see around 120 mm over the entire event, including the rain that has already fallen. This is expected to lead to widespread river flooding, whilst the shorter-period accumulations will result in high impacts from surface water flooding”. Met Office
A flood warning has been issued for the River Ouse at York, Clifton. The previously issued warnings for the Riverside properties and St Georges Field remain in force. The Clifton flood warning has been issued due to rising levels on Burdyke. The pumping station at Burdyke is running to full capacity, however, due to the volume of water in the beck the level has risen to 3.9m and is unable to discharge into the River Ouse due to high levels. The current river level at the Viking recorder in York is 3.5m or 11 feet 6 inches. Levels are rising in response to the recent rainfall in the upper catchments. Levels may rise further during Saturday as further rain is forecast. Our staff are monitoring the situation closely and we will update this message as further information becomes available. Please ensure that you keep up to date with the current situation for your area, further information is available on www.gov.uk/flood.
