Heavy showers, some thundery, are likely to break out over parts of western Scotland during Sunday afternoon. Further spells of heavy rain, with a chance of thunder in places, most likely the south, follows from the south during Sunday evening. Some intense downpours are possible in a few places, giving 20 to 30 mm in less than hour and perhaps 30-50 mm over 2 to 3 hours leading to surface water flooding. hat should I do? Consider if your location is at risk of flash flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. If you find yourself outside and hear thunder, protect yourself by finding a safe enclosed shelter (such as a car). Do not shelter under or near trees, or other structures which may be struck by lightning. If you are on an elevated area move to lower ground. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Heavy showers and thunderstorms could lead to some disruption in places, especially to travel. Isolated property flooding is possible.

Region: Northern Ireland

Slow moving, heavy showers with a risk of isolated thunderstorms may develop over the west of Northern Ireland from late on Sunday morning. Many areas will miss the heaviest showers altogether, but a few places could see 30-40 mm in the space of an hour or two, possibly accompanied by some hail. Should they develop, the showers are likely to fade and die out during the evening. What should I do? Consider if your location is at risk of flash flooding.
