The first storm of the season has resulted in a 'danger to life' warning issued by forecasters as heavy rain and strong winds arrive in Scotland.
Heavy rain and strong winds are set to cause havoc across the country, with flooding possible in some areas as the storm takes hold. Gusts of up to 80mph as well as up to 60mm of rainfall is expected during the first storm of the season, resulting in two weather warnings issued by the Met Office, including a "danger to life" warning.
The wind warning has also been altered by the forecasters, with the alert in place from 12pm on Wednesday, September 27 through to 7am on Thursday, September 28. The update has also refined in which high winds are forecast, trimming out parts of northwest Scotland. Potentially disruptive winds may cause damage to buildings and power cuts across parts of Scotland, with injuries and danger to life possible due to flying debris.
Flooding is also likely as heavy downpours continue throughout Wednesday and into the early hours of Thursday. Flooding impact may be exacerbated by recent wet weather, with blockages possible as winds lead t leaves and other debris obstructing drains.
