The Met Office has updated weather warnings as the second named storm of the season approaches the UK on Wednesday.
Storm Babet will bring heavy rain to the UK this week, with extensive flooding expected in already-saturated parts of Scotland.
Scotland typically receives around 168mm of rainfall in October but the country will receive more than this amount in the span of a few days. “But as you move from Thursday and into the week, that shift very much focuses more towards central and eastern Scotland, but also some central and eastern areas of England as well.”
“These can include fallen trees which can have less resilience to winds from a different direction ,” he said. David Morgan, flood duty manager for the Scottish Environment Protection Agency , said: “Storm Babet will bring heavy rain and high winds across Scotland from Wednesday evening, starting in the south-west before moving across to the north east through Thursday and into the weekend.
