The Met Office UK has issued a Yellow warning for heavy rainfall and high wind to hit Dumfries and Galloway between 8.00pm tomorrow Tuesday 12th September 10:00 am on Wednesday 13th September.
Heavy rain is expected later on Tuesday and early on Wednesday across parts of Northern Ireland and southern Scotland. This may cause flooding on the transport network, with spray and difficult driving conditions due to the combination of rain and wind. There is also a lower likelihood of flooding affecting homes and businesses. Note also the possibility of strong winds in parts of this area – please see the separate warning.
Very strong winds with gusts of 55-65 mph, perhaps reaching 75 mph in exposed places, are looking increasingly likely on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Longer journey times by road, rail and air are likely, with restrictions on roads and bridges. There is also a chance of power cuts, and damage to trees and perhaps buildings.
