If you are in Scotland, check the latest Met Office warnings before travelling today, as a deep low-pressure system brings heavy rain and strong winds. The warning is in place from early morning until late evening, with disruption likely on roads and railways.
What is the weather warning for Scotland today?
The Met Office has issued an amber warning for rain across central and southern Scotland, including Glasgow and Edinburgh, with 60-80mm expected widely and up to 120mm over higher ground. A separate yellow warning for wind covers northern and western coasts, where gusts could reach 65mph. This is part of the same system that has prompted warnings of a storm to hit Britain this weekend.
How should I prepare for the weather warnings today?
Before you set off, check the UK weather hub for local updates and consider delaying non-essential travel. If you live in a flood-prone area, move valuables upstairs and have a bag ready. The moderate rainfall warning page has details on affected regions. Drivers should avoid flooded roads — just a foot of moving water can sweep a car away. Police Scotland weather warning advice advises reducing speed and using headlights in heavy rain.
