Met Office warns some Brits need these 10 emergency kit items for 33 hours this weekend

Brits are being warned to prepare an emergency kit for the weekend by the Met Office which is urging people to gear up ahead of heavy rains and the risk of flooding in one part of the UK

The recent sunny weather is set to be disrupted by plenty of rain which could cause difficult travel conditions.

A yellow weather warning has been issued for a large part of Scotland – meaning there is a possibility of intense rain and thunderstorms, carrying the threat of floods across a side of the nation.

Weather experts at the Met Office have issued a yellow alert from 6am on Friday which will be in place until 3pm on Saturday. People in eight towns in the west of Scotland have been warned to prepare the “persistent, heavy rain” that is set to batter the area.

These places include Fort William, Oban, Rothesay, Greenock, Lochgilphead, Inverary, Tobermory and Portree.

The Met Office warned residents in these areas to expect “spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer”, “bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer” and “some interruption to power supplies and other services possible”.

Meanwhile, people have been advised to prepare a flood kit including crucial items Brits should set aside.

It said: “In your flood kit have: insurance and any other important documents; a torch & spare batteries; a first aid kit, prescription medicines and supplies for looking after your family members or pets; and warm, waterproof clothes, blankets, food and water.”

Forecasters added that the heavy rain is expected on much of Friday and overnight but slowly eases later on in the day on Saturday.

These rains will also be accompanied by windy conditions, which are expected to be worse on Friday during the day – with gusts of 40 to 50mph expected.

The Met Office added: “Keep yourself and others safe; prepare to avoid travelling by road during potentially dangerous road conditions. If you must travel, ensure you watch for possible danger and drive cautiously.

“It is not safe to drive, walk or swim through floodwater, avoid it where possible and if you are affected by fast flowing or deep-water call 999, and wait for help.”
