Brits are being warned over a 24-hour washout with the latest Met Office forecast.<\/p>\n

There are two amber weather warnings in place for heavy rainfall which could lead to 120mm – 4.7 inches – of rainfall within 24 to 36 hours.<\/p>\n

The Met Office states: "A spell of persistent and often heavy rain will affect much of Scotland during Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n

"Rainfall accumulations of 40 to 60 mm are expected quite widely across the warning area with a few places possibly seeing 80-120 mm in a 24 to 36 hour period, although there still remains some uncertainty in peak totals."<\/p>\n

Southern Scotland and north of Glasgow are expected to see the worst of the wet weather, with all of Scotland under a yellow weather warning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Homes and businesses may flood and be damaged, and deep floodwater could cause danger to life.<\/p>\n

Communities could also become cut off by flooded roads and stranded vehicles, the weather service adds.<\/p>\n

Northern Ireland and parts of northern England are also warned of heavy downpours with yellow alerts issued from Tuesday into Wednedsay.<\/p>\n

The severe warnings are in place from 12pm today until the same time tomorrow, bringing a 24-hour washout.<\/p>\n
