Update

Weather Update: Storm Bram

The Met Office have decreased coverage of UK weather warnings however high winds will continue to impact Scotland for the rest of today.

Following increased rainfall over the past 3 days, flooding remains a risk: 17 flood warnings, where flooding is expected, and 82 flood alerts, where flooding is possible.

We recommend you increase your delivery promise by +24hrs for areas impacted by flooding and weather warnings as there is live disruption across these areas.

Our adaptive transport plan was effective last night and minimized late deliveries to depots, especially into Northern locations with a combination of early pull offs, diverted routes and increased van usage.

Posted Dec 11, 2025 - 13:36 UTC

Monitoring

The Met Office have increased coverage of UK weather warnings following the impact of Storm Bram - bringing heavy rain and strong winds to large parts of the UK and Ireland, severely disrupting transport routes and leaving thousands of homes without power

The government have also increased the level of flood risk areas: 39 flood warnings, where flooding is expected, and 173 flood alerts, where flooding is possible, across the impacted regions.

We will continue to monitor and advise of any major disruption experienced.
