UK weather: Danger to life as rare red warning issued ahead of …
A rare red warning for rain has been issued by the Met Office for parts of Scotland on Thursday, meaning “very dangerous” weather is expected that is likely to pose a “risk to life”.
The agency warns of “exceptional rainfall” of up to 250mm in places as Storm Babet continues to rage across the UK.
The Met Office said that in the areas of Montrose, Forfar, Brechin and Inverbervie in eastern Scotand there would be “exceptionally heavy and persistent rain” from Thursday evening.
A red warning means that those in the area should “take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the severe weather”, with substantial disruption to travel, energy supplies likely.
The last time the Met Office issued a red warning for rain was in Wales in February 2020, when the UK was hit by Storm Dennis.
Scotland has not had a red warning for rain since September 2015, when Storm Desmond caused significant rainfall.
The warning will come into effect from 6pm on Thursday until 12:00pm on Friday.
That’s all for today
That concludes The Telegraph’s coverage of Storm Babet for tonight.

Up to 70mph wind speeds in East Scotland, Met Office warns
Power cuts and transport disruptions may occur in East Scotland as wind speeds reach up to 70mph, the Met Office has warned.
There are concerns the damaging gusts will worsen the impact of flooding, as fallen leaves will block drains and the saturated ground makes trees more vulnerable to falling.
It’s unusual for very strong winds from an easterly direction and eastern Scotland may see damaging gusts on Thursday
⚠️ Power cuts and transport disruption are possible and heavy rain and large waves are also expected

Co Cork sees one month’s worth of rainfall in 24 hours, says mayor
County Cork has seen one month’s worth of rainfall in 24 hours during Storm Babet, the mayor has said.
Frank O’Flynn, mayor of Co Cork in the Republic of Ireland, said that it was evidence “if any were needed, of our changing climate and the issues that it presents.”
He added: “I know from speaking with council staff that some of the issues they are dealing with are unprecedented, with roads which have never flooded now under water.”
Roads and several properties were swamped in certain areas, with Cork city and surrounding county among the places worst hit.
The town of Midleton in Co Cork was impassable to traffic on Wednesday afternoon due flooded roads.
National Rail ‘closely monitoring’ for impact of storm on England railways
National Rail is “closely monitoring the potential impact” of Storm Babet on railways across England and taking “appropriate measures” to keep trains running, a spokesman has said.
National Rail Scotland has announced a raft of line closures following a red weather warning for rain imposed for eastern parts of the country, but no such closures have yet been announced in England.
A spokesman for National Rail said: “We are closely monitoring the potential impact Storm Babet will have on the rail network, using our specialist forecasting.
“Our teams will be working hard to ensure that appropriate measures are in place, particularly at key locations, to keep trains running safely and as reliably as possible. Customers are advised to check before they travel.”

Significant inland flooding ‘likely’ in parts of North East and Yorkshire from tomorrow
The Environment Agency will have teams “on the ground” over the coming days, the body said, as it warned of likely “significant inland flooding” across parts of the North East and Yorkshire.
The Government body warned the public to stay away from swollen rivers and not to drive through flood water, as well as urging people to sign up to free flood warnings.
Ben Lukey, of the Environment Agency, said: “Persistent and heavy rain brought by a combination of Storm Babet and following weather systems means significant inland flooding is likely across parts of the North East and Yorkshire from Thursday through to Saturday, while, at the same time, flooding is also possible across other parts of the North, East Anglia and the South East.
“Environment Agency teams will be out on the ground, undertaking preparatory operational activity to minimise the impacts of flooding where possible.”

Business owner in Torquay ‘lost everything’ after losing shipping containers to ocean
A business owner in Torquay said that he has “lost everything” in Storm Babet, after losing a shipping container carrying water sporting equipment “ended up in the ocean”.
Sean White, of Soak Lifestyle, a coastal watersports rental company and community club, said that he and his business partner Laura Rickard had “completely lost our business to the storm” last night.
In a video shared to the company’s Facebook page, Mr White said: “One of our shipping containers, our sports one, ended up in the ocean and the other one has been bashed like a washing machine”.
“We’ve lost everything, and obviously that’s totally devastating and we’re lacking words amongst all the emotion right now.”
The pair managed to arrange two crane hire companies overnight to save the container which holds their coffee shop by lifting it to safety.
Mr White added that he and Ms Rickard “simply didn’t account for the storm surge” which made “an extra metre or so tide that we hadn’t anticipated.”

RNLI warns of ‘dangerous conditions’ on UK coasts and urges public to stay safe
Members of the public should exercise “extreme caution” when visiting the coast, particularly along exposed cliffs, seafronts and piers, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) has warned.
The institution warned that Storm Babet “poses a safety risk to those visiting the coast” and that the public should maintain a safe distance from the water and cliff edges.
Sam Hughes, of the RNLI, said: “The conditions could knock you off your feet or wash you into the sea. It is not worth risking your life.
“If you see someone else in danger in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard if by the coast, or the fire service if inland. If you have something that floats that they can hold on to, throw it to them.
“Don’t go in the water yourself – you may end up in difficulty too.”

Driver trapped in car after tree falls ahead of Storm Babet arrival
The tree fell down and crushed a car in Chichester Road, West London
A driver has escaped serious injury after a tree crashed down and crushed their car on a London street.
Firefighters were scrambled to released the trapped motorist, who managed to escape with minor injuries, from the mangled vehicle in Chichester Road, West London on Wednesday.
The incident occurred just hours before the Met Office issued an amber weather warning for Storm Babet, which is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds to various parts of the UK.
The storm, which developed to the west of the Iberian Peninsula, is expected to cause power cuts, road closures and travel disruption this week.
Yellow severe weather warnings have been issued until Saturday for a vast swathe of the UK, while an amber alert is in place in Scotland where up to 150-200mm of rain could fall in some areas.
Scotland placed on flood alert
Residents in Scotland have been told to prepare for potential flooding with heavy rain and high winds expected from Storm Babet on Wednesday evening.
David Morgan, from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), said: “Impacts from surface water and rivers are likely, and with catchments saturated from recent heavy rain and flooding, we’re urging people to be prepared for potential flooding. There is also concern that surface-water flooding may be exacerbated by debris blocking drainage, culverts, etc. as a result of the high winds.
“Flood Alerts and Warnings will be issued as required, and we continue to work with the Met Office to monitor the situation 24/7. People can check our Flood Updates for all the latest information and the three-day Scottish Flood Forecast to see what conditions are expected further ahead.
“If you live or work in an area that could be affected, consider any steps you need to take now to be prepared and stay safe, and to take extra care if you need to travel.

Key forecasts and warnings
National weather agencies have issued warnings over strong winds and potential flooding due to Storm Babet.
Here are the key forecasts and warnings across the UK:
England
Parts of England can expect more than 100mm of rainfall during the week, with some isolated areas facing up to 150mm.
The Met Office said low pressure is forecast to remain in charge of the UK’s weather into the start of next week, with potential for further spells of wet and windy weather.
Ireland
Rain warnings for every county in the Republic of Ireland were in place overnight, having come into effect at various stages on Tuesday.
A Status Orange rain warning is in place along Ireland’s southern coast for counties Cork, Kerry and Waterford.
That warning is due to the risk of flooding, dangerous road conditions and possible wave overtopping at high tide amid heavy rain and strong gusts.
The advisory is due to expire at 1pm, with the Status Yellow rain warning for the rest of the country ending between 6pm-8pm.
Northern Ireland
Storm Babet will first bring heavy rain to Northern Ireland through this afternoon and into Thursday morning.
The Met Office said people in the region can expect spray and flooding which may lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures for the duration of the yellow warning for rain, which comes into effect at 2pm and expires at 10am on Thursday.
It said “there is a small chance” that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings. It also warned of a a small chance of fast-flowing or deep floodwater, and communities being cut off by flooded roads.
If flooding occurs, there is a chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services. The forecasting agency said there is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses.
Scotland
As the rain moves northwards it will stall across central and eastern parts of Scotland where the rain will become heavy and persistent from Thursday through to Saturday.
There is an Amber Severe Weather Warning for rain for this area where up to 150-200mm of rain could accumulate in some areas of higher ground.
Scotland typically receives around 168mm of rainfall in October but it will receive more than this amount in the span of a few days.

“As well as heavy rain, Storm Babet will bring some very strong winds and large waves near some eastern coasts too,” he said.
“Gusts around 70mph are possible in eastern and northern Scotland from Thursday. Met Office warnings will continue to be reviewed as the forecast develops.
“It is important to stay up to date with warnings from your local flood warning agency as well as the local authorities.”
