Airlines and airports have warned customers of potential flight delays and cancellations with a Met Office red warning for rain in place for eastern Scotland from 6pm on Thursday, running through to midday on Friday. As much as two months’ rain could fall in the space of a day, it has been warned.
There are several other amber and yellow warnings in place covering the entirety of Scotland and its islands.
The red alert warns of the potential for "exceptional rainfall" which is "expected to cause severe flooding and disruption". This includes "danger to life from fast-flowing or deep floodwater".
