Met Office have updated their weather warning system for across the UK.

With over 180 weather warnings across the UK the Met Office have said

"Another spell of unsettled weather is expected with further wet and windy conditions likely across western areas in particular.

"Tides will be very high, and the public should be aware of the risks of large waves and coastal flooding."

"A developing Atlantic low pressure system is expected to move north eastwards just to the west of Scotland on Friday.

"This will push further bands of locally heavy rain across the area with more than 20mm quite widely. Given existing levels of saturation, this is likely to lead to some flooding."

The Scottish government said the tidal surge was expected at lunchtime on Friday, particularly around the Firth of Clyde, Solway Firth and Ayrshire.
