The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the Midlands and the north of England, as Storm Babet continues to batter the UK.
The warning begins tomorrow at 3.00am and is in place until 4.00pm tomorrow.
In the East Midlands, regions affected include Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, and Nottingham.
Further up north, areas expected to see heavy rainfall include Sheffield, Leeds, York, and Hull.
The Met Office expect that the heavy rainfall could lead to additional flooding.
They said Britons in the affected areas should expect road closures and difficult driving conditions due to the flooding.
This could impact public transport, with a “slight chance” of delays or cancellations to train and bus services.
“There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings,” the Met Office stated.
WEATHER LATEST:
“There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life.”
Some communities could also be cut off if roads become flooded, minimising access.
The Met Office issued an ice alert for some of the worst affected areas by Storm Babet, with additional flooding expected throughout the week.
The Environment Agency (EA) says that flooding is expected in some of the areas heavily battered by the storm.
