Scotland weather warning stretches across country as downpours risk travel chaos

Scotland has been placed under yet another rain warning as the Met Office predicts a weekend deluge.

The forecaster has issued a new yellow alert for rain for Saturday, November 26. The warning comes after previous wind and rain warnings earlier this week covered an array of stormy weather.

The latest bout of heavy rain this weekend will lash a wide swathe of Scotland, stretching from Argyll and Bute through to Perthshire. The Met Office has predicted flooding is 'likely' as road users could face travel delays.
