The warning will be in effect across Scotland and much of the UK between 10am and 8pm on Thursday. Forecasters have said that heavy showers and thunderstorms can be expected with the potential for surface water flooding in some locations. There is a “small chance” homes and businesses could flood quickly with damage caused by floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds. There are currently Sepa flood alerts in place for both Tayside and Fife. People across the country should also be aware of potential travel disruptions and cancellations to train and bus services during any heavy rain and thunderstorms. The warning comes following a burst of warm weather this week with temperatures hitting the mid-20s in parts of Fife and Perthshire on Wednesday. It follows the fifth-warmest summer for the region in almost 70 years.
