Less than a week after parts of Tayside and Aberdeenshire were devastated by Storm Babet, the MET office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain.

It will cover Dundee, Angus, parts of Perthshire as well as Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

The alert will be in place from 12pm tomorrow afternoon to midday on Saturday with flooding and travel disruption expected.

The news will bring fresh worries for people living in areas such as Brechin where dozens of homes were evacuated due to severe flooding last week.

Storm Babet led to the deaths of 7 people across the UK, including three in Scotland.

Arbroath man Peter Pelling, who was 61, sadly died after his vehicle became trapped in floodwater in Aberdeenshire on Friday.

57-year-old Wendy Taylor also lost her life when she was swept into the Water of Lee at Glen Esk on Thursday, while 56-year-old John Gillan's van was hit by a tree near Forfar on the same day.
