Crispin Rolfe/BBCFlood warnings have been issued in parts of East Yorkshire after fire crews pumped water away from properties.
Further flooding is expected along the Holderness Drain in Leven and at Wawne Common and Woody Carr, according to the Environment Agency.
Humberside Fire and Rescue Service used pumps in the Orchard Grove area in Leven, as well as in Atwick and Aldbrough, near Hornsea, on Sunday evening.
The Environment Agency (EA) said there had been issues at the pumping station on Holderness Drain on Sunday, which had now been solved.
At 9am, the fire service said two engines were being used to reduce flooding in Leven and it was making “good progress”.
Ann Woodward, the clerk at Leven Parish Council, said dykes had been “full to the top” with water which then “topped over into all the fields”.
Some residents had reported struggling to get children to school because they had “no wellingtons”.
“Lots of people have moved their vehicles from their drives and placed them at the end of the street,” she added.
Crispin Rolfe/BBCWith rain forecast throughout the day, flooding is also expected along the River Derwent at Buttercrambe Mill.
Flood warnings are issued by the EA when flooding is expected in an area.
A number of flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible, are also in place.
They include land around Setting Dyke in Hull, the Burstwick and Keyingham drains and the Lower River Derwent.
An EA spokesperson said: “Heavy rain on Monday means some flooding impacts are possible in areas of Yorkshire.
“In preparation, our teams have been out on the ground over the weekend clearing debris from watercourses and preparing to operate flood defences if required to help protect communities.
“We urge people not to drive though flood water – it is often deeper than it looks and just 30cm (1ft) of flowing water is enough to float your car.”
