A rare red warning for rain has been issued by the Met Office for parts of Scotland on Thursday, meaning “very dangerous” weather is expected that is likely to pose a “risk to life”.
The agency warns of “exceptional rainfall” of up to 250mm in places as Storm Babet continues to rage across the UK.
The Met Office said that in the areas of Montrose, Forfar, Brechin and Inverbervie in eastern Scotand there would be “exceptionally heavy and persistent rain” from Thursday evening.
A red warning means that those in the area should “take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the severe weather”, with substantial disruption to travel, energy supplies likely.
The last time the Met Office issued a red warning for rain was in Wales in February 2020, when the UK was hit by Storm Dennis.
Scotland has not had a red warning for rain since September 2015, when Storm Desmond caused significant rainfall.
The warning will come into effect from 6pm on Thursday until 12:00pm on Friday.
