The hydrological situation across a large part of the Iberian Peninsula is alarming, to say the least, and conditions are set to worsen as several powerful atmospheric rivers are forecast; major flooding cannot be ruled out.

Can you update us please @gigaloch your “update” from this morning does not include PH3 postcode and you don’t have any out of hours contact! @ssencommunity have restored power but fibre is still not back… surely those batteries are charged 🤔

Phone line down near Tullibardine, Perthshire @bt_uk @BTCare I can’t report it as I don’t have a BT line. There’s a potentially live cable loosely flapping across the road #StormAmy

22:10 BST: This is developing into quite a storm complex now, flash flooding & large hail the main concerns.

Forecasting shift Day 3. Possibility of some thunderstorms creeping into the Scottish Borders this evening, so we've escalated the risk. @SEPAFlood Alert now in force floodline.sepa.org.uk/floodu…

Forecasting shift Day 2. Looks like Scotland might miss the worst of Saturday's thunderstorms, NSWWS no in force for England. We're closely watching how this develops though 👀 @SEPAFlood @metofficeScot
Replying to @metoffice
Isolated thunderstorms are possible across other regions as well But it is those within the warning area that have the potential to be the most impactful, bringing sudden flooding in places

Just started a @SEPAFlood @metofficeScot forecasting shift. Interesting set up for Saturday. Could see an escalation in the flood risk.
The heat is set to peak on Saturday but with it comes the risk of thunderstorms, particularly across some western and northern areas by Saturday night ⛈️ Feeling fresher from Sunday 🌬️
