Moffat Academy Shuts Down Due to Major Flooding

**Scottish School Closure Amid Severe Flooding and Weather Warnings**
Moffat Academy, located in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, has temporarily shut its doors today due to significant flooding caused by recent heavy rainfall. The secondary school experienced considerable water damage on both its floors, prompting immediate closure to ensure safety.
This closure occurs as Scotland faces a bout of challenging weather conditions, including potential thunderstorms, particularly affecting the northern and eastern regions. The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for thunder from 11am to 10pm on Monday, anticipating 30mm to 40mm of rain which could lead to travel disruptions and local chaos.
The severe weather has been part of a larger pattern over the bank holiday weekend, which saw much of the country experiencing torrential downpours. Last night, parts of Scotland were particularly hit hard, with what felt like a month’s worth of rain pouring down, exacerbating the flooding issues.
Despite the grim weather forecast and ongoing disruptions, Moffat Academy is expected to reopen tomorrow. Local authorities and the Met Office continue to monitor the situation closely, advising residents to stay informed about potential weather hazards.
