A number of flood warnings are still in effect this morning, the Environment Agency says.

These include a dozen or so along the River Don in Rotherham and Doncaster.

Meanwhile, in East Yorkshire there's a warning in the North Cave Beck area following last night's heavy downpour, with high tides and high water levels on the Humber causing concern.

A warning has also been issued at Holderness Drain at Wawne Common and Woody Carr.

A full and constantly changing list of all flood warnings and alerts can be found on the Environment Agency's website here, external.

With the rain falling on South Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire last night, there was some surface water flooding.

Roads remain closed as a result, but thankfully it wasn't as bad as last week despite the yellow rain warning being issued by the Met Office.

Some homes remain flooded along the River Don.

River levels did rise, but far below last week's record-breaking peak of 6.31m.

We've seen roads flooded in East Yorkshire, including the A63, but that has since been cleared and reopened.

A number of flood warnings remain in place for the region and they can be seen here, external.

Latest data from the Environment Agency shows the River Don is yet to peak - but it will be well below the highest level it hit last Friday.

It's expected to top out at about 3.87m in the next couple of hours. Last week it recorded 6.31m - the highest level seen since the floods in 2007.

A flood warning remains in place for many areas along the river, telling people living nearby to take action.

The railway line between Sheffield and Worksop will be closed until the end of the day because of heavy rain causing flooding near Kiveton Park.

It's also expected to remain closed tomorrow with no replacement road transport being put on by train operator Northern. It says it tried to source transport, but couldn't.

And finally, here's the latest weather forecast:

Sheffield's flood defences pushed heavy rainfall further downstream leading to flooding in the Doncaster area instead, a university lecturer has claimed.

Since Thursday, hundreds of homes in Doncaster have suffered severe flooding while defences upstream in Sheffield (above) have been praised for protecting properties

John Grant, from Sheffield Hallam University, said the effectiveness of Sheffield's defences meant the flooding was just pushed further downstream.

"I suppose if you have limited resources, you have to try and save the most people", he said.

He went on to add that "400 houses in Doncaster versus the tens of thousands of homes in Sheffield and billions of pounds of damage" meant he could see why that decision might be made.

Mike Dugher from the Environment Agency, however, said while water has to go somewhere, he doesn't believe Doncaster was allowed to flood to save Sheffield.

"The water that spread out into Sheffield before Sheffield had defences still found its way down the roads, down the streets back into the river system and then flowed out further down", he said.

"That water wasn't taken out of the river system and held in storage somewhere."

He went added that the EA would look how the defences worked along the whole of the river network.

The Environment Agency (EA) said since flooding began last Thursday, about 5,500 South Yorkshire properties had been protected by flood defences.

More than 800 properties have been affected by the floods, with people evacuated from homes in Bentley and Fishlake, near Doncaster, the agency said.

Around 38 pumps are on site in South Yorkshire to remove 50m litres of water per hour to protect homes and businesses, the EA added.

Pumps set up around the village of Fishlake have removed 1.25m tonnes of water in the past 24 hours, reducing water levels from two metres to 0.3 metres.

It said about 200 operational staff have been on sites in Yorkshire assisting with pumping and deploying sandbags ahead of further rain later on Thursday.

Rotherham Council says it has closed a number of roads in the area due to flooding.

They are:

• Four Dalton Lane, Dalton
• Ryton Road, North Anston
• Hooten Lane / High Hooten Road, Slade Hooton
• Woodhouse Mill B6200
• Shiphill / Bridge Gate, Rotherham town centre

Train services between Sheffield and Worksop are affected due to floodwater on the line, Northern rail says.

Barclays has confirmed it has been sending text messages to flood-hit customers after concerns were raised over the legitimacy of the message.

People on Facebook have been questioning the text, which offers support to people with accounts who may have been affected.

It says: We hope you haven’t been affected by the flooding in South Yorkshire – we just want to let you know that if you need any support with your account, cash, cards etc. we’re here waiting to help.

If you’d like us to give you a call, just reply Yes to this message. If you don’t need any support from us, you don’t need to do anything. Your Barclays Team

The bank confirmed with the BBC that the message is genuine.

This is the scene in Bentley, Doncaster at the moment as rain keeps falling on already soaked communities.

Pumps from the fire service are moving water away from homes, as they have been for a couple of days now.

The weather forecast for the next few hours looks wet, but rain will ease over Doncaster at about 21:00.

This is the latest from the police about flooding closing a road in Conisbrough, Doncaster:

Almost £250,000 has been raised from donations by South Yorkshire's Community Foundation.

Now, those who have been affected by the flooding can apply for money, external to help repair some of the damage.

The Army are continuing to help residents trying to stop floodwater from getting into their properties in Doncaster.

BBC reporter Jenny Eells has sent this report back from Bentley:

"I'm on Yarborough Terrace where about 20 army personnel are here bringing in more sandbags, with two massive yellow pumps moving water away from homes.

"These homes were badly hit last Friday and because of foul weather now, local people are seriously concerned that the water will rise again

"Community hubs here very much "open for business" and are working around the clock delivering supplies.

"I've spoken to one woman who is sharing a caravan in Stainforth with another family.

"She said she doesn't know when she'll be back and has been told by the Environment Agency that it's too dangerous to go home.

"Many people here don't know what's happening in the coming weeks to months.

"It's a hive of activity in Bentley with the rain absolutely bucketing it down."

As rain falls across flood-hit South Yorkshire, the latest information from the Environment Agency is that the River Don at Doncaster will peak at 4.45m at about 06:15 on Friday.

While almost 1m above the highest average levels for the river at that point, it is well below the 6.3m it reached last week - it' highest ever recorded level:

A woman whose home and businesses were flooded, before she then found out she wasn't insured, has said she's been humbled by the generosity of people.

Pam Webb says her spa in Fishlake was once covered for such a situation, but not anymore.

However, she says she has been amazed at the support she has received.

"All I can I say is it's been humbling", she said.

"It's absolutely fantastic, the generosity of people, be it their time, other assistance, facilities they may have that they've been willing to offer to people here and money.

"They're all things that are contributing to help people pull together and eventually get back on their feet."

Most residents are covered for flood damage as a standard part of their home insurance policy, with the back up of a relatively new scheme to protect those in flood risk areas.

This scheme, known as Flood Re, does not cover businesses in the same way. That makes this a complex area of finance, as is often the case with insurance.
