Region: Grampian

Following a 3-day spell of very wet weather across this region, with some places having seen in excess of 100 mm, a further day of fairly persistent and at times heavy rain is expected, before easing during Saturday night. Many places are likely to see a further 20-30 mm of rain, and a few spots could see 50 mm. Above 400-500 metres however, a lot of this will fall as snow, with rain confined to areas of ground below this level. What Should I Do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Rain will affect parts of Eastern Scotland already affected by recent heavy rainfall, leading to further flooding and disruption to travel.
