“As heavy rain and winds reaching up to 50mph are set to impact parts of the UK, forecasters have issued warnings for potential flooding of homes and businesses in the coming days. The Met Office has announced three yellow warnings for persistent heavy rain affecting Wales, western England, and south-west Scotland, starting Tuesday evening.

Two rain warnings—one extending from Cardiff to Bangor and another covering Lancashire and southern Cumbria—will remain active until 8pm on Tuesday. Additionally, a third yellow warning for rain is in place for south-western and central Scotland, including Glasgow and Stirling, until 7pm on the same day.

The Met Office anticipates “some disruption” in these regions, which may include flooding in a few homes and businesses, spray on roads, increased travel times on public transport, and the possibility of power outages.

A yellow wind warning has also been issued for the Northern Isles, indicating likely disruptions to public transport and potential impacts on coastal communities due to spray and large waves. This warning will take effect from 6pm on Tuesday until 10am on Wednesday, with wind speeds expected to reach 50mph early on. Furthermore, additional wet and windy weather is forecast for south Wales and south-west England, with a yellow rain warning for these areas in effect for 20 hours starting from 9pm on Wednesday.”
