Yellow weather warnings have been issued across the week for a vast swathe of the UK. More severe red and amber warnings are in place across part of Scotland, due to a 'danger to life'.
Some schools will close and people are being told to stay at home as Storm Babet bears down on parts of the UK. The Met Office has issued a rare red warning for 'exceptional and persistent' rain in eastern Scotland, as well as amber and yellow warnings for wind and rain in other areas. The red alert covers parts of the east of Scotland between the Dundee and Aberdeen areas from 6pm on Thursday until midday on Friday, 'with some locations likely to see 200-250mm' of rainfall.
'No one should take the risks for granted and I would urge everyone in the country to prepare where necessary, heed the travel warnings issued by Police Scotland and take extreme care around fast-flowing water.' In early October, up to 180mm of rain was forecast which led to landslides, train cancellations and sporting events being postponed due to floods.
