People living, working, and travelling in areas at risk of flooding in Ayrshire are being urged to sign up for free local flood warnings through Floodline.
This is a service operated by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and the aim is to better prepare the public for extreme weather events.
In recent weeks storms in the UK such as Dudley, Eunice and Franklin brought with them torrential rain and caused damage, cancellations to public transport and a host of other disruption.
