Amber warning for Rain issued across parts of Ayrshire ahead of high winds & persistent Rain

Persistent heavy rain on saturated ground could bringing further flooding.

Valid 12PM Tuesday until 12PM Wednesday

A spell of persistent and often heavy rain will affect much of Scotland during Tuesday and Wednesday.

Rainfall accumulations of 40 to 60 mm are expected quite widely across the warning area with a few places possibly seeing 80-120 mm in a 24 to 36 hour period, although there still remains some uncertainty in peak totals.

Drier conditions will arrive from the west during the second half of Wednesday. Strong southerly winds are likely to accompany the rain.
