Severe weather warnings have been issued for Scotland, predicting heavy rain and potential flooding which could disrupt New Year's Eve festivities.
Revelers in Scotland are bracing for a wet Hogmanay as forecasters issue severe weather warning s for heavy rain , which could lead to 'significant disruption' during the New Year celebrations. The Met Office has slapped a yellow weather warning across almost all of Scotland , excluding Orkney and Shetland, for December 30 and 31.

This may bring some significant disruption and flooding in the build up to new year events, although there is still a lot of uncertainty in which areas are likely to be affected.' They've flagged potential flooding leading up to the New Year events but also admit there's a lot of uncertainty about affected areas. Travel disruptions and perilous driving conditions are on the cards, with a chilling warning of life-endangering fast-flowing or deep floodwaters.
