Chris fawkes is here with the weather. A lot of difficult at times coming. Ifeel this isjust the a lot of difficult at times coming. I feel this is just the start of it. The met office have issued a rare red warning covering angus where we have seen evacuations and also aberdeenshire, dundee, perth and kinross. It is the chelation of rain building up over the next few days that will cause problems with flooding from various parts of the country as we will

Flooding is the main concern, particularly across northern and eastern scotland, parts of eastern england, but were also seeing some gusts of wind today switching 70 miles an hour, which in itself is Strong Enough to blow down some trees.
