Region: Orkney & Shetland

An area of heavy rain is expected to move northwestwards across the warning area during late Wednesday afternoon and persist overnight into Thursday morning, before turning somewhat lighter and patchier. Through this period, 20-30 mm of rain may accumulate quite widely, but some north-facing high ground may see well in excess of 60 mm of rain. Strong and gusty northerly winds may exacerbate any impacts from the rain. 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 bring some disruption to western and northern Scotland.
