Meanwhile, the Met Office has issued the following warning for Yorkshire and Humberside: "Rain is expected to move across northern England from early on Monday, with the largest rainfall totals over high ground.

"This should clear southwards later on Monday before returning from the south on Tuesday.

"With this rainfall following the wet November, the ground is saturated and rivers are expected to rise in response. "Please be aware of the potential for localised disruption from flooding, even away from the heaviest rainfall as the water moves through the river network.

Its chief forecaster explained further: "A series of low pressure systems will bring mild and moist air to northern England on Monday and again on Tuesday, along with some strong winds.

"This may lead to some large rainfall accumulations over high ground, with over 80 mm possible over the peaks during Monday and Tuesday.

"Whilst lowland areas are expected to see much smaller rainfall amounts, localised flooding is possible as the water moves downstream through the river network - indeed some rivers may continue to rise on Wednesday, despite the rainfall easing.

"There is some uncertainty around the behaviour of individual weather systems and so also regarding the persistence of the rainfall. This alert has been updated to include mention that some rivers may continue to respond into Wednesday."
