In Scotland, the warning covers central, Tayside, Fife, and the south-west, with persistent rainfall likely to lead to flooding and transport delays. Northern Ireland is also under a yellow alert for rain, particularly affecting eastern counties.
Meanwhile, south-east England, including London and the Home Counties, faces a separate warning for strong winds that could bring down branches and cause travel disruptions.
What to Expect
- Scotland: Up to 40mm of rain in some areas, with potential flooding in low-lying regions.
