A spell of heavy rain is expected to move north across the Central Belt during Tuesday morning. Many areas are expected to see 20-30 mm of rain, most of which will fall in a 4-6 hour period. A few places over higher ground may see 40-50 mm. 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.

Heavy rain may cause some travel disruption on Tuesday morning.
