Scotland is once again braced for more heavy rain following the extreme downpour at the weekend.

A yellow weather warning is in place across much of the west of the country – with the likes of Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Argyll and Bute, and parts of the Highlands expected to be worst hit.

The warning is in force until 9pm on Tuesday.

The Met Office has estimated that 15mm to 25mm of rain could fall, with 40mm to 50mm possible over high ground.

It comes after heavy rain over the weekend caused widespread flooding and travel disruption.

Meanwhile south of the border, Monday brought a high of 26.1C in East Malling, Kent, with more warm weather expected in southeast England on Tuesday.

Although the rain in Scotland is expected to clear away southwards during the afternoon and evening, the Met Office warned of the rainfall: “This may bring further impacts from flooding, including the disruption of travel, given the recent wet conditions.”

A search is still ongoing for a missing 77-year-old man who was feared “swept” into the River Tay near Strathtay, Perthshire, on Sunday.

The multi-agency response has included the use of drones and a Police Scotland helicopter.

Landslides blocked some roads in the west of Scotland, with 10 drivers rescued by helicopter after becoming trapped on the A83 near Inveraray in Argyll and Bute.

Another four were airlifted in Kilmartin.

The A83 between the Rest and Be Thankful and Inveraray, Argyll and Bute, remains closed for work to remove debris from landslips.

Road maintenance firm Bear Scotland said it had removed 9,500 tonnes of debris from the A83, with a further 2,000 tonnes on the hillside likely to need removing before the road can safely reopen.

Ian Stewart, Bear Scotland’s north west representative, said: “The scale of the operation to clear the A83 is considerable, but the teams on site are working hard and for as long as they can safely do so.”

Two severe flood warnings remain in place in Aviemore/Dalfaber in the Highlands and for part of Perth.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has also issued 32 flood warnings and nine flood alerts around the country.

On the railways, Network Rail Scotland said the line between Dunblane and Perth will remain closed on Tuesday while it works to repair the huge amount of flood damage. It is expected to reopen by mid-morning on Wednesday.

Speed restrictions have also been put in place on the Oban, Mallaig and Kyle lines.
