Forecasters are predicting thunder, lightning and flooding as a yellow weather warning comes into force across the York and North Yorkshire again today (August 16).

The Met Office has implemented the warning for Yorkshire and the Humber as well as much of the rest of the country until 11.59pm on Tuesday for all of England and Wales after a change in air pressure led to dramatic showers in York and Ryedale last night.

Power cuts and delays and cancellations in trains and buses are predicted, while spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions for motorists.

In York today temperatures are set to get up 20C and to fall back to 18C tomorrow.

Greg Dewhurst, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “First half of the week, we’re looking at some heavy downpours and thunderstorms developing.

“You can sort of see that sort of transition coming in from the north, it’s day by day."

Drivers are being warned to take care on the roads as some flooding may occur.
