Heavy rain and high winds has caused flooding and travel chaos across Leeds.
Pictures and video filmed by the Yorkshire Evening Post show floodwater causing disruption across parts of Kirkstall last night (Thursday, December 5).
Cars could be seen moving slowly through one stretch of Kirkstall Road, opposite Kirkstall Abbey, during footage as floodwater collected onto the road surface following rainfall.
The flooding follows a yellow weather alert, warning of a sustained period of heavy rain, issued by the Met Office from 2pm yesterday.
