Weather warnings for thunderstorms and rain


A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms has been extended to include parts of the Borders, while a rain warning has also been issued.

Key information:

  • Thunderstorm warning runs to 9pm
  • This covers an area north of Peebles, Melrose and Greenlaw
  • Where showers and storms develop they could be slow moving and prolonged, leading to a risk of up to 40mm of rain over a short period of time
  • Rain warning runs from 9pm to 4am tomorrow
  • This covers all of the region except for the area east of Coldstream/Duns
  • Heavy and persistent showers could will bring 15-25 mm of rain in places
  • Due to the saturated ground even these amounts may bring the risk of flooding
  • For more information and maps of the warning areas please use the links above to access the Met Office website.
