Storm Babet live: Met Office issues rare red weather warning | UK News

Storm Babet s bringing some extreme weather conditions with it- so much so that a rare red warning has been issued for parts of the UK.

The Met Office has issued a rare red rain warning for parts of north-east Scotland, with residents being warned severe weather will pose a danger to life.

Laurencekirk, Montrose and Forfar are among the towns covered by the alert, which comes into effect at 6pm tomorrow and is due to last until 12pm on Friday.

Extensive flooding, road closures, loss of power and collapsing buildings should all be expected by communities in the area.

Some residential areas may be completely cut off, the weather agency says, ‘perhaps for several days’.

Further weather warnings of varying severity have been issued for different parts of the UK over the coming days – and are liable to change as forecasters learn more about the likely path of the storm.
