Overview

  • The yellow thunderstorm warning in Yorkshire on July 21, active from 11 am to 9 pm, has now expired as conditions eased on July 22.
  • Eyewitnesses reported funnel clouds over Grinton Moor, Swaledale, Scotch Corner, the North York Moors and Scammonden Reservoir near Huddersfield.
  • None of the funnel clouds touched down to form tornadoes and there were no reported injuries or property damage.

  • Officials continue to urge residents to prepare flood plans, secure loose objects and seek enclosed shelter as high winds and rain may persist.
