A YELLOW weather warning has been issued for York with heavy rain expected throughout the weekend.

The Met Office forecast has warned of heavy rain and showers with a chance of isolated thunderstorms in some areas.

The good news is there are no flood warnings currently in place.

The Met Office said: "The warning has been changed to focus on rain rather than thunderstorms as this will be the main hazard, though some thunderstorms are likely.

"The end time has also been extended until the end of Saturday."

The weather service said driving conditions are likely to be affected by spray, standing water and/or hail - leading to longer journey times by car and bus.

Delays to train services are possible, the Met Office said.

This rain will slowly ease during the early hours with a minimum temperature of 14 °C.

Sunday's forecast
