A Met Office yellow weather warning for rain is active across central and eastern Scotland today and tomorrow, with heavy downpours expected to bring localised flooding and travel delays. As a storm to hit Britain this weekend approaches, Scotland is likely to bear the brunt of the wettest conditions.
Which areas are affected and when?
The warning covers parts of Central, Tayside & Fife, Grampian, and the Highlands. It runs from 06:00 today until 12:00 tomorrow. A separate scotland weather warning map on the Met Office site shows the exact boundaries. Some commuter routes and low-lying roads may be affected by surface water, especially during rush hours. For live updates, see the scotland weather warning today live feed on our warnings page.
How should you prepare?
Allow extra journey time and avoid driving through flood water. Secure loose garden items that could be damaged in high winds. Check your Cold Weather Payment Checker if you think you may be eligible, as the persistent rain could trigger a drop in temperatures. For the full outlook, visit our 10 Day Weather Forecast UK.
Will the warning be extended?
Extensions are possible if the storm system stalls or intensifies. The scotland weather warning tomorrow met office update will confirm any changes after the morning assessment.
Is travel affected?
Heavy rain can cause standing water on motorways and A-roads. Rail services may also slow due to flood risk. Check your route before setting out.
What about pets and livestock?
Bring outdoor animals into shelter if possible. Avoid walks in heavy downpours – pets can become disoriented in fast-rising floodwater.
