A number of roads are flooded with some vehicles stuck in flood water. Emergency services are attending a number of incidents.
The downpours started shortly after 4pm, with heavy rain, hail and thunder hitting Scarborough, along with other areas along the Yorkshire Coast.
Water was quickly bursting out of drains and cascading down Scarborough's hilly streets, with properties in the Valley Road area of Scarborough seeing water intake.
This was Morrisons Daily at the junction of Valley Road and Westwood Road. Water was seen inside the shop, with staff trying hard to prevent more coming in.

North Yorkshire Police have shared this update, warning people to avoid Scarborough town centre:
Pedestrians and motorists are asked to avoid the centre of Scarborough due to flooding in the town. Emergency services are at the scene where a number of vehicles have become stuck in flood water. Flooded areas include Manor Road, Scalby Road, Valley Road, Valley Bridge, Filey Road, Ramshill Road, and the surrounding streets. Please observe the road closures and take advice from the police and fire and rescue service at the scene. Rain is expected to continue into this evening.
Please stay safe and avoid the area while emergency services work to keep everyone safe.
Thank you .
