    River Dearne and its tributaries from Denby Dale to Mexborough

    Further rainfall is expected, particularly over the western Pennines. The rainfall is expected from 1pm continuing through the night with heavy and persistent rainfall from midnight. The rainfall will move from North West to South East with the heaviest rainfall over the hills. Some flood warnings are expected to be issued. "Washlands at Old Moor, Bolton Ings, Cudworth, Houghton, and Wombwell are expected to flood. If river levels rise further, Washlands at Adwick, and Dearne Mouth are expected to flood."



    Hope we don't see a the kind of flooding that hit Darton a few years back.

    Houghton??

    I thought the nearest the Dearne went to Houghton was Darfield - going to be some flood if it reaches Houghton!!

    They've updated saying 'warning no longer in force' so looks like it's just the wind to battle with this morning.

    Ha Ha. Made me giggle that!!

    I remember when Darton flooded. Was running about all over with sandbags. Was happy to hel but was so so glad it wasn't my house with the Dearne running through it. Thoughts go out to anyone who suffers a flood - Must be awful.
