The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has warned communities to ‘keep mindful across Monday’ as flood water impacts remain from the weekend’s severe weather event.

“Storm Agnes will bring wet and windy conditions across Scotland during the second half of today and into tomorrow morning.

“A period of unsettled weather is expected on Tuesday 11 April, with strong winds and heavy rain forecast in southwest Scotland.

“The risk of flooding for coastal areas in Scotland is expected to continue over the coming days due to large waves and strong winds, combined with storm surge and high spring tides. More than 40 Regional Flood Alerts and Local Flood Warnings are in place.

“SEPA has issued over 30 Regional Flood Alerts and Local Flood Warnings, focused around the west coast, northern coastline and islands over the coming days. Impacts are expected to be localised and around high tides.

The Scottish Flood Forecast provides the earliest indication possible of when and where flooding is expected over the next three days, and whether the source is from rivers, surface water or the sea.
