Met Office issues yellow weather warning for Nottingham as more heavy rain heads our way

Nottingham has been struck with another weather alert, as the Met Office warns further heavy rain is on its way.

A yellow weather warning has been issued for tomorrow (24 Oct), starting from 3am and lasting until 4pm. It covers much of the region including Nottingham, Sheffield, Lincoln, Hull and York.

11 flood warnings are already in place across Nottingham, with fears the rivers Trent and Derwent may overflow in places.

Storm Babet wreaked havoc on the region over the weekend with heavy downpours and torrential rain resulting in dangerous floods. Retford, a market town in Notts, was one of the most heavily affected areas.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service has declared a major incident across the county and people in the area are being asked only to travel if absolutely necessary.

What to expect from a yellow weather warning:

• Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
• Where flooding occurs, there is 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
• There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life
• There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads
