Further stormy weather is expected to affect Scotland through Tuesday and Wednesday.
Coastal flooding impacts are likely around country, these may be partially significant around the Northern Isles coastline. Storm surges combined with spring tides and large waves are expected wave overtopping, particularly around the high tide.
These conditions may result in extensive flooding of low lying roads, property flooding and significant travel disruption.
Remain vigilant, particularly around coastal areas, and stay away from flooded promenades, sea walls and crashing waves.

Thanks for your patience if your journey's been affected. @GBRailfreight

1/ Just when we thought we’d caught a break from the weather… Another spell of strong winds and heavy rain is on the way. 🌧️ 💨
Rain will move in from the southwest later today, with winds picking up this evening.
Here’s what that means for the railway. ⬇️ ⬇️

@metoffice 5/ 🚧 Strong winds and heavy rain can bring trees down onto the railway, damage overhead wires and cause flooding.
Our teams are keeping a close eye on conditions and preparing for the impacts as the weather moves across Scotland.
