The UK is set to be battered by heavy rain and strong winds as Storm Babet arrives from Wednesday, while a yellow rain warning has been issued for parts of Scotland.
Storm Babet is set to hit the UK this week, bringing heavy rain and strong winds, with 'significant and widespread disruption' possible in Scotland. The Met Office said the storm, named on Monday, is forecast to bring 'impactful heavy rain' to the UK from Wednesday. Strong winds will accompany the storm.
Deputy chief meteorologist Steven Keates said the rain forecast for Scotland later this week could fall on ground 'already saturated after recent heavy rainfall'. 'This could lead to some significant and widespread disruption,' he said. The Met Office said the worst of the rain was expected over higher ground and further warnings would likely be issued later in the week.
