The flood alert remains in force for the Upper River Ouse.

Flooding is possible for riverside footpaths and low-lying land in York and to the south as far as Naburn Lock, including Kings Staith, Queens Staith, and South Esplanade.

Be prepared.

River levels are rising on the River Ouse due to recent persistent rainfall. Further bands of rain are forecast over the coming days, which may cause river levels to remain high.

The Environment Agency has teams on standby to operate the Foss Barrier if necessary.

Avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses and do not attempt to walk or drive through flood water.

Visit the GOV.UK website to see the current flood warnings, view river and sea levels or check the 5-day flood risk forecast.

A flood alert is also now in force for the Tidal River Ouse from Naburn Lock to Selby.

Flooding is possible for the tidal foreshore and agricultural land adjacent to the river in the Cawood, Kelfield, Wistow and Selby areas.

River levels are forecast to rise on the river Ouse due to persistent rain.

Further bands of rain are forecast over the coming days, which may cause river levels to remain high.

Avoid using low-lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses and do not attempt to walk or drive through flood water.
