Sheffield weather: Hour-by-hour forecast as warning issued over 13 hours of heavy rain

A yellow weather warning for rain will be in place in Sheffield from 3pm today, Monday, July 15, until 9am tomorrow, Tuesday, July 16.

The Met Office says heavy rain means there is a small chance of flooding damaging homes and businesses. It says the torrential rain could also lead to road closures and hazardous driving conditions, and to delays or cancellations to train and bus services.

There is a slight chance too of power cuts and the loss of other services to some homes and business, it adds.

The weather warning covers the whole of South Yorkshire and a large swathe of central and eastern England, from the south coast to Hull.
