"Storm Frank" is the latest spell of bad weather to hit the North East this winter.

A warning has been issued for across Scotland - with severe wind and rain expected to cause problems across the country.

Rain will be heavy and persistent for much of Wednesday with some large rainfall totals building up, particularly over south facing hills, and accompanied by southerly gales.

The Met Office are telling people to be prepared for both surface water and river flooding.

The North of England, which has already suffered severe flooding, will be the worst affected by the storm.
