They also included warnings of sudden flooding, which could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures. Lightning strikes, strong winds, and a slight chance of power cuts were also mentioned.
The Met Office added that fast flowing or deep floodwater has a small chance of creating danger to life.
Rain in York is expected to ease after 7pm, and remain patchy throughout the week.
