Flood Warnings

The Met Office is forecasting a spell of persistent and often heavy rain to affect much of the UK on Sunday and into Monday as a band of rain becomes slow moving for a time over western parts of Scotland, Wales and Northern England. Totals of over 25 mm are likely quite widely, but with accumulations of around 80mm over western Scotland, 70 mm over Cumbria and 60 mm in north and west Wales. Given the already very wet ground, further flooding is expected. For more information on the current flooding situation the public should refer to the Environment Agency in England and Wales, and to Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in Scotland. This warning will be updated at around 1000 Saturday 9th December.
