    The Environment Agency has issued a flood alert tonight for the Upper River Nidd catchment area.

    The stretch of the river from its source in Great Whernside, down to Pateley Bridge and as far south as Birstwith is covered by the alert, which was introduced at 7.29pm.

    It applies to land around the Upper Nidd and its tributaries including How Stean Beck, Blayshaw Gill, Ramsgill Beck, Lul Beck, Foster Beck, Fosse Gill, Fell Beck and Darley Beck.

    The alert says:

    "Flooding is possible in this area. Monitor local water levels and weather conditions. Avoid using low lying footpaths or entering areas prone to flooding. Start acting on your flood plan if you have one."


    There are currently 106 flood alerts and 29 more serious flood warnings active in England.

    Many are in the west of the country, which experienced the worst of today's persistent rain.

    The unsettled weather is forecast to remain in the Harrogate district for the foreseeable future.
