Further details

Another period of heavy and prolonged rainfall will affect parts of east and northeast Scotland. The heaviest rainfall is most likely to occur over upland parts of Angus, Aberdeenshire and Grampian, although even lower-lying areas will see some heavy rain. These areas overlap those most affected by the prolonged rain on Thursday and early Friday, thus likely to prolong or renew impacts. Widely 30-50 mm of rain is likely, but some upland areas may see as much as 70-100 mm of rain. Strong easterly winds are likely to accompany heavy rainfall which may exacerbate impacts.
