Met Office issue severe warning for rain affecting Greater Glasgow area

The Met Office have issued a severe weather warning for much of the Greater Glasgow area with heavy rain expected to fall from early morning tomorrow until lunchtime on Friday.

The yellow warning will be in place for the majority of Scotland, between 6am tomorrow until 12 noon the following day.

Forecasters say: "Persistent heavy rain followed by showers are likely to produce some localised flooding and travel disruption."

The Met Office advise we can expect:

  • Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer
  • Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
  • Some minor interruptions to power supplies and other services are possible

Meanwhile, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency warn of potential surface water flooding, affecting traffic and travel: "A band of persistent and heavy rain will affect Western parts of Scotland on Thu followed by heavy wintry showers on Fri.

"Surface water flooding affecting the transport network is likely."
