THE Met Office has issued a yellow warning of rain for parts of the North-East and North Yorkshire on Wednesday.
The heavy rainfall is expected to start in the North-West before moving east during Wednesday evening with many places seeing 25-50 mm of rain and 100mm levels possible over higher ground.
The Met Office said: "Spray and flooding on roads will probably make journey times longer and train services will also probably be affected. Flooding of a few properties is possible."
