Overview
- The Met Office has a yellow ice warning for much of western and northern Scotland from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, with hazardous surfaces expected where snow has melted or rain has fallen.
- A separate yellow warning for heavy rain covers parts of South West and South East England, Wales and the West Midlands on Thursday, with 20–40mm widely and up to 70mm possible in a few spots.
- Flood agencies report elevated alerts across the UK, with SEPA highlighting greatest risk in Dumfries and Galloway and the west and north of Scotland as rivers respond to snowmelt and rainfall.
- Transport disruption continues in Scotland with flooding and a landslide closing routes including the A92, the A9 at Blair Atholl and the A815 near the A83, as inspections determine when roads can safely reopen.
- Water supply problems persist after infrastructure damage, with South East Water reporting around 30,000 properties in Kent and Sussex affected and bottled water stations opened as repairs continue.
