Showers or longer spells of rain will continue for the rest of Monday across Northwest Scotland. Rain will be heavy at times, especially over high ground where accumulations of 50 to 70 mm are expected. Combined with melting snow this will lead a risk of some flooding. Showers will ease later in the evening. 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.
