Met Office issues four-day rain warning for Harrogate district
A weather warning covering four days has been issued for the Harrogate district as Storm Babet approaches.
The storm is forecast to bring wet and windy weather across the UK from Wednesday. Eastern Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Pennines are likely to be worst affected.
A Met Office weather warning for rain is in place in the Harrogate district from 9pm on Wednesday to 6am on Saturday.
Although gusts of over 60 mph are expected in Scotland, the Met Office isn't currently forecasting anything higher than just above 30mph locally. But plenty of rain is due, especially on Friday.
The Met Office, which has issued a less severe yellow weather warning, said there was a "small chance" of some homes and businesses flooding and has warned of difficult driving conditions.
