Parts of Scotland are braced for heavy rain ahead of the arrival of Storm Debi later.

A MET office yellow weather warning for rain has been issued for Angus, Aberdeenshire and Moray - just weeks after Storm Babet caused widespread flooding and forced hundreds of people to evacuate their homes.

Debi - the fourth named storm of the season - is likely to bring more flooding as well as travel disruption.

The warning will come into force at 10am on Monday morning until 9pm on Monday evening.

Jonathan Vautrey, meteorologist for the Met Office, urged people to "take care before you travel" as morning rush hour is expected to be affected.

He said: "There will be some heavy rainfall, the potential for flying debris, the potential for disruption to travel and infrastructure in places."

The storm developed in the Republic of Ireland, where there are red weather warnings in place.

Yellow weather warnings for wind are also in force for much of northern England and Wales too.
