Storm Chandra: Flood warnings and alerts in place in Yorkshire after heavy rain and snow

A handful of flood warnings have been put in place for Yorkshire following heavy rain and snow during Storm Chandra this week.

More than a dozen flood alerts are also in place across the region following the wet weather on Monday and Tuesday (Jan 26 and 27).

Yellow weather warnings have been issued for ice on Wednesday morning covering much of England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and southern and central Scotland.

A yellow weather warning for rain is also in place for south-west England on Thursday, with the Met Office saying that further rain could bring more flooding and transport disruption.

Domestic flights were cancelled on routes serving Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Heathrow, Leeds Bradford, London City, Manchester and Southampton airports on Tuesday.

And while things appear to be returning to normal for most of Yorkshire this morning (Jan 28), there are still warnings in place across the area.
