A flood alert has been issued for Ayrshire and Arran. 

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency says that around times of high tides on Monday, a storm surge, rough seas and gale force winds could lead to spray and wave overtopping around exposed coastal areas.

Heavy rain will also affect much of the of the region on Monday. There is a risk of localised flooding of low lying land and roads and localised disruption to travel are possible.

A separate flood warning has also been issued for the stretch of coastline between Ayr and Troon.

SEPA said: "A combination of high tides and prevailing weather conditions means that flooding from the sea may affect low lying land, roads and properties along the coastline from Ayr to Troon late in the morning and early afternoon on Monday, November 13.

"Flooding in and around low-lying parts of Troon and Prestwick is possible. With the wind direction turning to westerly in the morning, the high strength of the wind means that wave overtopping is expected to affect low lying areas for a time at high tide which is around midday."
