Dumfries, Scotland, United Kingdom Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

Information on update: Warning updated to extend into the Outer Hebrides and include mention of landslides, while reducing overall likelihood of medium impacts. Further rain is expected to affect much of west and northwest Scotland during Wednesday night and Thursday, persistent across some coastal and upland areas. The rain will turn heavier for a time during Thursday afternoon and evening, before clearing most areas by or soon after midnight.

During the warning period, 30-50 mm is expected widely with 60-80 mm possible in parts of the northwest and on high ground. Coming on top of rain that has already fallen in recent days, this is expected to lead to a risk of landslides as well as localised flooding.

In addition, strong winds are expected to accompany the rain, with gusts of 45-55 mph likely around coasts and hills later on Thursday.
