When is the Glasgow yellow weather warning coming into force?

The weather warning for rain comes into force from 4pm today (July 10) and will end at 6am tomorrow (Tuesday, July 11).

What to expect from the Glasgow yellow weather warning?

The Met Office has said that "a small chance of disruption from heavy rain during Monday night" is possible.

They add: "Areas of rain will move northwards across Scotland late Monday afternoon and continue during the evening and overnight into Tuesday. This is likely to bring fairly widely 15-25 mm of rainfall, which in itself is unlikely to bring disruption, other than areas of standing water. However, there is a small chance of the rain turning heavier leading to areas of 30-50 mm and perhaps even 70 mm for one or two spots. If this did occur this is more likely to lead to some surface water flooding."

They also warn that the following could happen:

  • Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures along with the chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services
  • There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads
  • There is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses
  • There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings
