Caithness and Sutherland
A FLOOD ALERT has been issued for Caithness and Sutherland.
Heavy thundery showers during Sunday could cause flooding impacts from surface water and small watercourses. Particularly at risk are urban areas and the transport network. Impacts may include flooding to properties and businesses, disruption to travel and infrastructure and danger to life due to fast flowing water. Due to the localised nature of the heaviest showers, impacts may be isolated, with not all locations being affected.
If you are in an affected area and are in danger and need assistance, call emergency responders. Take great care if you are travelling.
The risk of flooding from main rivers is low, as river flows are expected to remain in bank.
