Extreme Weather: Advice & Guidance

The Met Office has several weather warnings in place across our area for Thursday 19 and Friday 20 October, including an amber warning for rain as Storm Babet is likely to bring exceptionally wet and windy conditions across parts of eastern Scotland.

You can check the latest weather warnings from the Met Office here.

While the Amber Weather Warning is in place you can expect:

  • Dangerous driving conditions because of spray and flooded roads
  • Road closures and bus and train service delays and cancellations likely
  • Extensive flooding to homes and businesses is possible, which could lead to collapsed or damaged buildings or structures
  • Fast flowing or deep floodwater is likely, causing danger to life
  • There is a chance that communities in flooded areas could be completely cut off, perhaps for several days
  • Power and other essential services, such as gas, water or mobile phone service, may be lost
