Some of York has been underwater this weekend, with the city being met with flooding once again.

Skeldergate was closed on Saturday after water from an overflow pipe spilled out on to the road near a junction.

For the majority of time, the top end of the ‘normal’ water level of the Ouse is 1.9 metres, but the level was above 4 metres for most of the weekend, peaking yesterday.

Although most of York remains unaffected, some riverside walkways are underwater and both St George’s Field and Esplanade car parks were closed.
