The first warning, covering Strathclyde, the Lothian Borders, Tayside and Fife comes into play from 3am on Wednesday and is due to expire at midnight.<\/p>\n<p>The forecaster tells people to expect flooding which could lead to difficult driving conditions, road closures, and delays to public transport.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Damage may also be caused to some buildings and there is also a slight chance of power outages. The Met Office said:\u00a0 &#8220;Heavy, and in places persistent, rain is expected to develop on Wednesday, especially across west-facing hills.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A total of 25-50 mm could fall quite widely across the warning area, and perhaps 70 mm in a few places.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE: <\/strong> <strong>New maps show exactly when Indian summer heatwave will end as temps plunge 10C<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/153\/590x\/secondary\/Met-Office-map-4989104.jpg?r=1696242881456\" class=\"zoomEnabled\" data-img=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/153\/1200x712\/secondary\/Met-Office-map-4989104.jpg?r=1696242881456\"><\/p>\n<p>Then, on Thursday, October 5 a second warning will be activated for rain &#8211; this time covering a much wider area.
