The Met Office has named the second storm of the season which will bring 'impactful' rain, strong wind and and disruption.
Storm Babet is set to batter Scotland with heavy rain this week, sparking fears of more devastating floods.
It comes just weeks after several areas of Scotland were hit by floods when days of torrential rain caused rivers to overflow and railway tracks to be submerged underwater. The rain is due to high pressure over Scandinavia that will cause the fronts to stall over Scotland leading to persistent heavy rainfall in the region through much of Thursday and Friday.
“As well as heavy rain, Storm Babet will bring some very strong winds and large waves near some eastern coasts too. Gusts in excess of 60mph are possible in eastern and northern Scotland from Thursday. It is likely Met Office warnings will be updated through the week.”
