Glasgow weather: Met Office warning for rain issued as city put on flood alert

Glasgow is under a weather warning for rain and the city is on flood alert with downpours forecast throughout Tuesday.

The yellow Met Office weather warning was in place from 6am this morning and will remain so until 23.59pm this evening.

Meanwhile, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) has advised the public to be braced for potential flooding across West Central Scotland.

The Met Office say: "Heavy rain is likely to lead to some travel disruption during Tuesday."

What to expect

  • Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible
  • Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer
  • Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer

SEPA further warn: "A flood alert has been issued for West Central Scotland.

"There is a risk of flooding from rivers and small watercourses on Tuesday due to persistent and, at times, heavy rainfall. Water levels are expected to rise on Tuesday morning with impacts likely in areas of low lying land and known trouble spots during Tuesday afternoon and evening. Levels are forecast to drop overnight on Tuesday and through Wednesday morning.

"There is also a risk of surface water flooding on Tuesday, particularly in urban areas during heavier bursts of rainfall."
