Met Office issues thunderstorm warning for Grampian and Moray
Slow-moving showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop during Monday across the majority of the north, north-east and Highlands. From around 11am to 10pm, rainfall accumulations will vary significantly across the warning area but 10-20 mm in an hour is likely in places with a chance of up to 30-40 mm in a few hours. Lightning may also cause impacts.
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary and check SEPA for any flood warnings which are in place.
If you find yourself outside and hear thunder, protect yourself by finding a safe enclosed shelter (such as a car). Do not shelter under or near trees, or other structures which may be struck by lightning. If you are on an elevated area move to lower ground.
