Some didn’t even wear coats… Storm Babet is currently battering the UK as the second storm of the season is in full swing. A red ‘danger to life’ weather warning for rain has been issued in Scotland amid gale-force winds and flooding, with amber alerts in other parts of Scotland, northern England, Wales and the Midlands until tomorrow morning. Yellow warnings for rain are also in place across other parts of England and Northern Ireland.
Those in areas hit by yellow and amber weather warnings are still told to expect disruption and are warned to take care when travelling. RAC spokesperson Rod Dennis said warned the huge amount of rain means ‘conditions on the roads are proving extremely difficult’. He added: ‘We urge drivers to heed the warnings, especially where flooding has already happened or is likely over the next few days. ‘Drivers should never attempt to drive through floodwater as the risks are just too great.
