Scotland is bracing for a spell of unsettled weather over the coming days, with heavy bursts of rain expected to move across the region. The weather is predicted to turn significantly worse as Monday, September 23, progresses, with conditions worsening further by Tuesday, September 24.
Heavy Rain to Sweep Across Northern Scotland
According to BBC meteorologist Gillian Smart, the rain will start affecting northern Scotland around 4 p.m. on Monday, gradually working its way southward throughout the evening. The heavy rainfall will bring bursts of intense showers, which could lead to localized flooding in certain areas. Scots in the northern regions will experience cooler temperatures in addition to the wet conditions, creating a notable shift from the mild weather that has been typical in recent days.
Alerts in Place Amid Widespread Flooding in the UK
The worsening weather in Scotland comes amid severe flooding in southern England, where weather alerts are in place due to heavy rain and rising water levels. These floods are already causing significant disruption across the UK, prompting authorities to issue warnings and prepare for continued downpours.
As Scotland faces its own share of wet weather, residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in the north, where the heaviest bursts of rain are expected to hit. Localized flooding may cause travel disruptions and impact outdoor activities.
Unsettled Weather to Continue
The rain and cooler temperatures are expected to persist through the early part of the week, with further wet conditions predicted in central and southern Scotland on Tuesday. As weather systems continue to shift across the UK, it is likely that the unsettled conditions will remain for several days, impacting much of the country.
