The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) has issued a flood alert for Fife due to anticipated heavy and prolonged rainfall that may result in isolated flooding from rivers and surface water.
The warning is in effect until further notice, and comes after The Met Office put out a yellow weather warning for rain.
The rain is likely to persist over Tuesday and Wednesday, with more urban areas and transport networks at increased risk.
Roads on lower ground are also expected to be affected, leading to challenging driving conditions and potential flooding for some properties.
Residents are advised to stay alert and take necessary actions to safeguard themselves and their properties.
The difference between a flood alert and warning that an alert is an early indication of potential flooding from rivers, the sea and surface water. It is issued for larger geographical areas – usually the boundaries of local authorities.
If a flood alert is issued for your area, you should remain alert and vigilant and make early preparations for potential flooding.
However, flood warnings advise that flooding is imminent. Immediate action is required – take measures to protect yourself and your property.
Residents are encouraged to monitor SEPA updates via their website or the @SEPAFlood X channel for further information and to stay updated with evolving conditions.
