Highland and Western Isles

Rain Yellow
Valid from:15th of December 2024, 6:00pm
Valid until:17th of December 2024, 12:00pm
Last updated:13th of December 2024, 10:07am

Persistent rain will lead to difficult travel conditions and possible flooding in a few places.

Rain will become persistent across parts of western Scotland during Sunday, continuing throughout Monday before easing later on Tuesday. 70-100 mm of rain is likely to fall widely during this period, but possibly over 150 mm for some exposed hills and mountains. Rapid melting of lying snow will also contribute to any potential impacts. 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: the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area. .

  • Highland

What to expect:

  • Increased stopping distance
