Live Blog: 'Do not travel' warning issued as Sheffield is battered by storm

Sheffield and its surrounding areas continue to experience severe weather this morning, with people warned not to travel over flooding fears.

The city remains on flood watch this morning after days of persistent rain that saw river levels across the city rise yesterday.

And as of Monday morning (February 21), over 17 flood warnings and six flood alerts have been issued for Sheffield.

Storm Franklin is to blame for the bad weather, which came after Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice wreaked havoc earlier in the week.

It is however forecast to have lesser wind gusts than Eunice, which prompted two Red Weather Warnings.

Passengers have been advised to avoid travelling if possible, with buses being diverted and train services being cancelled.

The tracks at Rotherham Central railway station have also been flooded, preventing trains from calling there for the rest of the day.
