"A number of warnings are in force through Thursday, with further warnings issued for Friday and into Saturday as wet and windy weather could bring impacts for some. Much of Scotland is seeing persistent and heavy rain through the day on Thursday, with Amber and Yellow warnings issued. Yellow warnings for rain are also in force for much of Thursday for much of Northern Ireland, south Wales and parts of the southwest of England."
"Neil Armstrong said, "We've already seen heavy rain for much of Scotland overnight on Wednesday into Thursday, and this is likely to continue through much of today. "Within the Amber warning area, some areas of high ground exposed to the strong southeasterly wind are likely to see in excess of 100 mm of rain through this event, whilst 50-80 mm is more probable for many places within the broader Yellow warning.""
"Warnings highlight the likelihood of fast-flowing or deep floodwater, travel disruption and the chance of some communities being cut off due to flooding. Neil added, "While rainfall totals in Northern Ireland, south Wales and parts of the southwest of England won't reach those that we'll see in parts of Scotland, there's still a potential for some disruption, particularly for travel, which has resulted in Yellow warnings for these areas.""
""An area of low pressure, named Storm Ingrid by the Portuguese national weather service, will bring spells of heavy rain and strong winds across much of southwest England on Friday before easing on Saturday morning," said Neil. "The system is slow-moving but will bring more than 20mm of rain for some which is falling on saturated ground, increasing the chances of impacts. In addition to rain, large waves and gusty winds are likely, especial"
Amber and Yellow warnings cover much of Scotland through Thursday, with additional yellow warnings for Northern Ireland, south Wales and parts of southwest England. Persistent heavy rain across Scotland is expected, with more than 100 mm possible on exposed high ground in amber areas and 50–80 mm across broader yellow zones. Warnings indicate likely fast-flowing or deep floodwater, travel disruption and potential communities being cut off. A slow-moving low pressure named Storm Ingrid will bring heavy rain, gusty winds and large waves to southwest England on Friday, with over 20 mm falling on already saturated ground, increasing impact risk into Saturday.
