Brits are being urged not to travel as the Met Office issues an amber weather warning for heavy rain battering parts of the UK.
The alert, which covers Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Borders, warns 40-50mm of rain is expected quite widely and fast-flowing or deep floodwater is likely, causing danger to life.
The warning is valid from 3am tomorrow until midday on Friday, and also warns of the potential for difficult driving conditions and delays or cancellations to train and bus services.
