Scottish Flood Forecast

Last updated on 17/10/2024 @ 10:08

Summary

On Thursday onwards, coastal flooding impacts are likely around much of the coast of Scotland due to high sea water levels. On Friday and during the week end, high winds further increase the risk of coastal flooding impacts, particularly in locations exposed to the South and South East. Due to a band of heavy rain, some localised flooding impacts from rivers and surface water are possible in the southwest and just north of the central belt of Scotland on Friday.
