An area of heavy rain is expected to move northwest across Scotland from Wednesday afternoon, with rain most persistent across northern and eastern hills. Rain likely to turn more showery through Thursday in central and southern areas. There remains some uncertainty on the duration and placement of the heaviest outbreaks, but there is a small chance that it will become slow-moving over Moray and northern Aberdeenshire, and to a lesser extent Lothian and Borders. Should this happen then some places could see 60-80 mm of rain falling in 12 hours, with a very low chance of 100 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 produce some flooding and transport disruption.

Region: Nordirland

An area of heavy rain is expected to move westwards into eastern parts of Northern Ireland during Wednesday. Whilst many areas may only see modest amounts of rain, there is the potential for parts of Antrim in particular to see 30-50 mm of rain quite widely and perhaps in excess of 60-80 mm over windward facing higher ground. Rainfall should tend to ease later on Thursday morning. Strong north to northwest winds, perhaps gusting to 50 mph at times, will likely exacerbate any impacts from the rainfall. 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.

Region: Wales

An area of heavy rain will affect much of England and Wales during today, slowly clearing from eastern parts of England through the day. The area of rain is likely to become heavy and persistent over parts of northern England and North Wales, particularly north facing hills, before easing during Thursday morning. Many places will see 30-40 mm of rain, while a few areas may receive 60-80 mm. There is also a chance that a few upland locations, chiefly in the separate Amber warning area, could see much higher totals, in the order of 100-150 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.

Region: Wales

Rain becoming heavy and persistent during Wednesday afternoon before easing during Thursday morning. The heaviest rain is expected over north facing hills and where strong winds will enhance rainfall accumulations. Many places within the warning area will see 30-40mm of rain, with high ground of northwest England seeing 70-90 mm. While mountains of north Wales may see 100-150mm or more. What should I do? Keep yourself and others safe; prepare to avoid travelling by road during potentially dangerous road conditions. If you must travel, ensure you watch for possible danger and drive cautiously. It is not safe to drive, walk or swim through floodwater, avoid it where possible and if you are affected by fast flowing or deep-water call 999, and wait for help. Stay up to date with the weather forecast for your area and follow advice from emergency services and local authorities

Rain will become heavy and persistent later Wednesday and Thursday with flooding and disruption likely.

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 flooding and disruption to travel.
