Yorkshire is still recovering from floods caused by Storms Ciara and Dennis - but The Met Office has once again warned of floods as another band of rain heads towards the county.

The warning covers West Yorkshire, parts of South Yorkshire heading down towards Sheffield, and the western side of North Yorkshire, including the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

It comes after one of the first dry weekends of 2020 for the region, as the weather looked to pick up following Storms Ciara and Dennis, but the wet weather looks set to return, with the yellow warning in place from 6pm on Monday to noon on Tuesday.
