Following this, heavy rain is expected to move in from the south during Sunday evening, with a chance of thunder especially in the south. There is a possibility of intense downpours in some areas, which could result in 20 to 30 mm of rainfall in less than an hour and possibly 30-50 mm over 2 to 3 hours, leading to surface water flooding.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for any potential flash flooding, it is advisable to assess if your location is at risk and consider creating a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Stay updated on road conditions, bus and train timetables, and amend travel plans accordingly to avoid delays.<\/p>\n<p>In the event of power cuts, it is recommended to gather essential items such as torches, batteries, a mobile phone power pack, and other necessities to cope better with the situation. If caught outside during a thunderstorm, seek shelter in a safe enclosed space like a car. Avoid taking cover under or near trees or structures that could be struck by lightning, and if on higher ground, move to lower ground.<\/p>\n<p>Weather warnings may change rapidly, so it is important to stay informed by regularly checking the weather forecast in your area when a warning is issued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12454","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Possible disruption to travel and property flooding from heavy showers and thunderstorms.","mbww_dates":"","mbww_regions":"<div>\n<h4>Central, Tayside &amp; Fife<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Clackmannanshire<\/li>\n<li>Falkirk<\/li>\n<li>Fife<\/li>\n<li>Perth and Kinross<\/li>\n<li>Stirling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Highlands &amp; Eilean Siar<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Na h-Eileanan Siar<\/li>\n<li>Highland<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>SW Scotland, Lothian Borders<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Dumfries and Galloway<\/li>\n<li>Edinburgh<\/li>\n<li>Midlothian Council<\/li>\n<li>Scottish Borders<\/li>\n<li>West Lothian<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Strathclyde<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Argyll and Bute<\/li>\n<li>East Ayrshire<\/li>\n<li>East Dunbartonshire<\/li>\n<li>East Renfrewshire<\/li>\n<li>Glasgow<\/li>\n<li>Inverclyde<\/li>\n<li>North Ayrshire<\/li>\n<li>North Lanarkshire<\/li>\n<li>Renfrewshire<\/li>\n<li>South Ayrshire<\/li>\n<li>South Lanarkshire<\/li>\n<li>West Dunbartonshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","mbww_date_from":"2024-05-12 14:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-05-13 03:00:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>There is a slight chance that homes and businesses could experience rapid flooding, potentially causing damage from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail, or strong winds.<\/li>\n<li>There is a small possibility of hazardous fast-flowing or deep floodwater posing a danger to life.<\/li>\n<li>In areas where flooding or lightning strikes take place, there is a chance of disruptions and potential cancellations to train and bus services.<\/li>\n<li>Spray and abrupt flooding may create challenging driving conditions and could lead to some road closures.<\/li>\n<li>There is a small likelihood that certain communities could be isolated due to flooded roads.<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight possibility of power outages and other essential services being disrupted for some homes and businesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/weather-warning"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
