Further detail
Further rain will fall over eastern Scotland onto already saturated ground which may cause further disruption and localised flooding. 10-15mm of rain is likely to fall quite widely with 25-30mm over higher ground.
This rainfall will combine with melting of lying snow which will further add to to the flood risk and saturation of the ground.
What Should I Do?
Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.
Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
