An area of heavy rain will become slow-moving over the Northern Isles on Monday night and through Tuesday morning, before clearing from Orkney in the afternoon and eventually from Shetland during the evening. Totals of 20-40 mm seem likely to fall quite widely, mostly within a 6 to 12 hour period, with perhaps as much as 50-80 mm in a few locations on Shetland. Strong winds accompanying the rain may also add to the difficult travelling conditions. 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.

A deepening low will move slowly east across the northern North Sea during Tuesday, bringing a swathe of strong northwesterly winds to the Northeast of Scotland. Gusts of between 45 and 50 mph are expected widely with isolated gusts as high as 60 mph at times, especially along coasts and over hills of mainland Scotland, and to 65 mph at times across Orkney. This is likely to lead to some disruption and longer journey times. Winds will slowly ease later this afternoon. What should I do? 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.
