Key information

More information

Rainfall will spread northeastwards on Saturday, and become persistent and at times heavy. Through this period 20-40mm of rain is expected to fall widely, with some locations perhaps seeing 75-100mm, with much of this total falling in the later hours of the event. From mid-Saturday onwards, increasingly strong gusty winds and perhaps some thunder will also accompany the rainfall, further increasing the risk of disruption.
By the dawn on Sunday morning the rain will ease across Scotland. Showers then follow and winds remain strong through Sunday.
