An area of heavy and persistent rain is expected to develop in parts of north and northeast Scotland later on Friday evening, continuing overnight and turning showery on Saturday morning. Around 20-30 mm of rain is likely to fall widely over a 12-hour period, with possibly up to 50 mm in some areas.
To avoid delays, it is recommended to check road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, and adjust travel plans if necessary. It is also important to assess if your property is at risk of flooding and consider preparing a flood plan and emergency flood kit.
Be prepared for weather warnings to change and stay updated with the weather forecast in your area when a weather warning is issued, according to the Met Office.
