Information on update: Warning area and impact level reduced, to focus on area where further potential low impacts are more likely. End time extended to early Friday morning. Persistent rain will become more fragmented in nature during Thursday, but at the same time, some heavy, slow-moving bursts may develop across parts of southern and central Scotland.
A further 10-20 mm, and in some places 30-40 mm is probable, across areas which have already seen between 20 mm and very locally 60 mm during this event.
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. For further details see https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings
