The Met Office has issued weather warnings for wind, followed by heavy rain.

Rainfall between Monday and Wednesday will be between 30 to 60mm with further flooding expected in some areas. Gusts of 55-65 miles per hour are likely quite widely, with gusts reaching 70-80 miles per hour in exposed areas.

Flood-hit areas are being warned to brace themselves for more heavy rain as Storm Frank passes over the region.

“The rain will be heaviest in the west. It will gradually clear eastwards through the late afternoon and evening”.

“Everyone should be aware of the potential for disruption in places from further flooding and the impacts of the gales to transport, especially in areas such as southern and central Scotland and Cumbria where Amber “be prepared” warnings are in place”.

“The weather is particularly unsettled at the moment and we advise everyone to stay up to date with the latest Met Office forecasts and warnings and find out what to do in severe weather so they can plan ahead for the expected weather before it arrives”.
