Dozen flood warnings in place as southern Scotland hit by rain

A dozen flood warnings are in place in southern Scotland after excessive rainfall hit Scotland between Glasgow and the border.

Flooding was deemed possible at Pollok Country Park, south of the point where the River Clyde passes through central Glasgow. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) reported almost 24mm of rainfall over 36 hours at nearby Dalmarnock, meanwhile.

The majority of the other flood warnings are spread throughout the Borders, where the Eskdalemuir Observatory recorded 79mm of rain in the same period. Two further warnings apply to Dumfries and Galloway.

The Met Office issued weather alerts for the south of the country, with amber and yellow warnings in place throughout Dumfries and Galloway until 9am on Thursday. Here, "persistent and heavy rain" could bring flooding and transport disruption.
