Heavy and persistent rain will affect Orkney from early on Tuesday, and could cause flooding impacts from rivers and surface water. 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. The heaviest rain may be localised and therefore not all areas will be affected.

Remain vigilant and remember, it is your responsibility to take actions which help protect yourself and your property. Advice and information is available on our website or by calling Floodline on 0345 988 1188.
