Downpours and strong winds are expected across Scotland as well as northern, central and eastern England later this week.
The Met Office has upgraded its weather warnings for parts of the UK later this week - when up to 20cm of rain is forecast to fall in some areas. Storm Babet is predicted to bring downpours and strong winds from Wednesday. The Met Office has now raised the level of its warning for eastern Scotland from yellow to a more severe rating of amber - meaning conditions are likely to have a higher impact than previously thought. The warning covers the period from 6am on Thursday to 6pm on Friday.
The Met Office has also updated and expanded a yellow warning, which now covers most of Scotland, as well as much of northern, central and eastern England, for 'very wet weather' including flooding and a 'slight chance' of power cuts from Thursday to Saturday. As much as 10cm of rain could fall in the affected areas, especially on higher ground, forecasters said.
