A yellow weather warning for rain and wind has been issued this week as Storm Bram is set to batter the country.
The warning for rain will be in place from 6am tomorrow and will last until midday.
The Met Office said that the spell of heavy rain is expected to move north across the Central Belt during Tuesday morning.
Many areas are expected to see 20 to 30 mm of rain, most of which will fall in a four to six hour period. A few places over higher ground may see 40 mm.
The Met Office has said that the heavy rain may cause some travel disruption on Tuesday morning. It added that spray and flooding on roads will probably make journey times longer, bus and train services will probably be affected with journey times taking longer and there is a chance of flooding in a few homes and businesses.
Meanwhile, the warning for wind will be in place from midday on Tuesday and will last until 6am on Wednesday.
The Met Office said: "Southerly winds in association with Storm Bram will strengthen on Tuesday afternoon with the strongest winds transferring north from England and Wales into Scotland overnight before gradually easing during Wednesday morning.
"Gusts around 50 to 60 mph are possible fairly widely, and potentially in excess of 70 mph for some exposed headlands and high ground. Winds should gradually ease across Wales and northern England during Tuesday night and across Scotland on Wednesday morning."
The Met Office has said that the strong winds may cause some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport. Bus and train services are likely to be affected, according to the Met Office and there may be some short term loss of power.
