A FLOOD ALERT has been issued for Dumfries and Galloway.

Any flooding impacts are likely to be localised and not all areas will be affected. Impacts may include flooding to low-lying land and roads, with difficult driving conditions.

Urban areas and the transport network are particularly at risk, and ground conditions are currently very dry which may increase surface water runoff.

Remain vigilant and remember, it is your responsibility to take actions which help protect yourself and your property. Advice and information is also available through Floodline on 0345 9881188.
