Rainfall could be as high as 30mm in parts.

Strong winds will accompany the rain, with gusts of up to 40mph on some exposed coasts and on hills.

However, temperatures are expected to climb to about 20°C for many on Saturday – and overnight temperatures will also be mild, dropping to just 15°C.

Sunday is expected to be drier for most with temperatures once again reaching 20°C.

What to expect during yellow weather warning

The Met Office is warning that:

  • Bus and train services are likely to take longer with the possibility of cancellations
  • Spray and flooding on roads may increase journey times
  • Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible

Sepa says urban areas at most risk

The Sepa flood alerts cover the whole of Dundee, Angus, Fife and Perth and Kinross.

It says a period of heavy rain early on Saturday could lead to some flooding impacts from surface water and small watercourses.

The warning added: “Particularly at risk are urban areas and the transport network.

“Impacts may include flooding to low-lying land and roads with difficult driving conditions.

“Isolated properties may also be at risk.£

Forecast for next week

The Met Office says that conditions should stay warm for the start of next week.

Many parts will once again see temperatures of 20°C for most, though there will be some showers around, and strong winds at times.

Conditions are expected to get cooler as the week goes on with further unsettled spells of wet and windy weather forecast.
