Glasgow is set to be hit by slow-moving, heavy showers as a yellow weather warning comes into effect
A yellow weather warning will come into effect across Glasgow this afternoon with slow-moving, heavy showers possibly leading to flooding across the central belt.
The yellow weather warning will be in place between 2pm and 9pm on Tuesday afternoon. The Met Office said some places could see us much as 30-40mm in 2-3 hours – leading to localised flooding and travel disruption.
The Met Office said: “Following rain overnight and this morning, which could be heavy at times, showers are expected to break out this afternoon which are likely to be slow-moving. A few places could see 20 mm in an hour, and there is a chance that the odd location could see 30-40mm in 2-3 hours. This may lead to some localised flooding and travel disruption across parts of central Scotland.
“The heaviest showers may be accompanied by thunder but showers will tend to steadily fade through the evening.”
The Met Office warned that spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer with bus and train services probably affected and journey times taking longer. Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible with some interruption to power supplies and other services also possible.
It comes just a week after Scotland saw temperatures hit the mid-20s.
