People have been told not to go into floodwater as weather warnings are back in place with more heavy rain expected on Tuesday.

Heavy rain caused flooding across many parts of Scotland over the weekend, leading to road closures and train cancellations.

Disruption to ScotRail services, after the weekend flooding, continued into Monday affecting services between Glasgow Queen Street and Inverness, and Queen Street to Aberdeen/Dundee/Perth unable to run.

Weather warnings were lifted on Monday but are back in place for Tuesday in the west of Scotland.

The warning will be in effect from 6am until 9pm on Tuesday, October 10.

People have been reminded of the hidden dangers posed by floodwater.

Glasgow Times:

Ruth Ellis, Scottish Environment Protection Agency flood duty manager, said: "It's been a difficult weekend across Scotland, with severe weather causing widespread travel disruption to road and rail networks, and impacts in communities all over Scotland.

"Across many areas of the country, there is still some deep-standing water and it's really important people understand the danger. Hazards can be hidden, so please don't walk or drive into flood water.

"Remember that not only is flood water likely to be dirty, 30cm of fast-flowing water can move an average family-sized car, and just 15cm of fast-flowing water could be enough to knock you off your feet.

"Our teams have been working around the clock with partner agencies, including Scottish Government, the Met Office, emergency services and local authorities, across this major weather event."

The challenges posed by the flooding has been compared to those faced during the Beast from the East period of cold weather in 2018.

Stein Connelly, head of transport resilience at Transport Scotland, said: "It's been an extremely challenging 72 hours, with perhaps some of most difficult conditions we've experienced since the Beast from the East."

Meanwhile the Scottish Government's Resilience Room (SGoRR) met on Sunday to discuss and plan the response to the situation.

Justice Secretary, Angela Constance,

said: "The rainfall we have seen over Scotland this weekend has been extreme, causing significant disruption - particularly in the west and north of the country.

"These impacts are ongoing and I want to put on record my thanks to all the staff and volunteers responding across the country."
