What to expect from the yellow rain warning
The Met Office has told us to expect the following:
- Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely
- Bus services are probably affected with journey times taking longer
- Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer
What areas in Scotland will be affected by the yellow weather warning?
Dumfries and Galloway is currently the only area with a yellow rain warning.
The Met Office is predicting that by early evening, the showers will tend to die out with drier conditions developing.
A few locations could see up to 20-25 mm of rain in less than an hour.
There is also a small chance of 30-40 mm falling in 2-3 hours.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
