In Beighton, a flood warning had been in place centred around Woodhouse Lane and Rotherham Road, and the Crown Works industrial estate..
The Environment Agency announced that was being removed at 2.15pm.
But the organisation added in a statement: “Only the Flood Warning has now been removed. However, a Flood Alert remains in force for the wider area, so flooding of roads and low lying land is still possible.
“Weather conditions are expected to improve and no further flooding is expected. We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue further alerts or warnings if necessary.
“Continue to take care on waterside roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car.”
For the Lower Rother, the EA stated: “No further rainfall is forecast. River levels remain high but are now falling and washlands are emptying. Flooding remains possible on Sunday 16 November 2025.”
For the Lower Don the EA stated: “No further rain is forecast. River levels remain high but are falling. Surrounding washlands are filling. Flooding remains possible on Sunday 16 November and through the night.
“Locations most affected will be low lying land and roads near the River Don from Hexthorpe to Stainforth, including Swaith Dike and North Swaith Dike in Bentley We are closely monitoring the situation and monitoring rainfall and river levels .”
