Bank Holiday: Scarborough’s weather forecast for this weekend as hosepipe ban hits Yorkshire

The ban comes into effect on Friday August 26 and there is currently no end date announced.

The decision was made after parts of Yorkshire reported the lowest rainfall since company records began more than 130 years ago.

In recent weeks, there has been an extended period of dry weather and extreme heat.

Households will be banned from using a hosepipe to water gardens and plants, clean cars or boats, fill paddling pools or clean patios.

Anyone found to have breached the hosepipe ban could receive a fine of up to £1,000.

The National Drought Group is expected to meet on Friday to discuss the hot temperatures.
