A flood warning has been issued as river levels have peaked

A flood warning remains in effect along the River Ouse in North Yorkshire, while an alert remains in effect for the River Rother in South Yorkshire.

Residents living in York city center have been urged to follow flood plans; flood gates have been closed, and the Foss Barrier is operational.

The Environment Agency (EA) said that although no further significant rainfall is expected, properties along the riverbank from King's Staith and Lendal Bridge to Millennium Bridge are most at risk.

The Ouse reached 3.56 meters (11 feet 6 inches) at 09:15 GMT at the Viking Recorder measuring station, while its normal range is from 0.05 meters to 1.90 meters.

Property flooding is possible when river levels rise above 3 meters (10 feet).

Elsewhere in North Yorkshire, the EA said flooding was expected at Naburn Lock, outside York.

In South Yorkshire, a flood warning for Beighton, near Sheffield, was lifted at 14:15 BST.

Properties on Woodhouse Lane, Rotherham Road, and the Crown Works Industrial Estate had already been advised to take protective measures.

A flood warning remained in effect for a wider area, indicating that roads and low-lying land were at risk until midday.

Rail services remained disrupted on Saturday, with delays and cancellations to lines between Manchester and Leeds and the South Yorkshire tram service.

National Rail said it expects routes to operate normally on Sunday after weather warnings related to Storm Claudia are lifted.

Northern confirmed that Rotherham Central station has reopened after being closed on Friday and Saturday due to flooding fears.
