    The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain.

    The Harrogate district is braced for heavy rain today as a weather warning has been issued.

    The Met Office has put a yellow warning in place for rain across much of northern England until midnight.

    It says that the adverse weather may affect public transport and possibly cause flooding.

    The warning says:

    “There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings.
    “Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.
    “Should flooding occur, delays or cancellations to train and bus services are likely.”


    The warning covers much of the district including Harrogate, Ripon and Boroughbridge.

    Heavy rain and a moderate breeze is forecast throughout the day in the district.
