Met Office issues urgent 12-hour rain warning for Leeds with flood risk

The forecaster states there could be disruption across Yorkshire due to the rain and flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely.

Their website reads: “A spell of heavy rain is expected overnight which may lead to some localised disruption.”

They continued: “An area of rain will move northwards overnight, turning heavy for a time before clearing away northeast on Tuesday morning. While many places are unlikely to see impacts, it is possible that the rain band could become slow moving for a time giving localised accumulations of 20-30 mm in 2 to 3 hours and perhaps 40-50 mm in 3 to 4 hours which could lead to some surface water impacts and delays to transport.”
