Scotland 'danger to life' weather warnings as tiles could be ripped from roofs

The Met Office's weather alert comes ahead of gusts that could reach 80mph this week.

Scotland has been placed under two Met Office weather warnings with the country to be battered by heavy rain and strong winds over the coming days.

The first yellow weather warning concerns a downpour on Tuesday hitting much of the west coast and Highlands. Then on Wednesday, a wind warning covering the entirety of Scotland is in effect from midnight. With 70 to 80 mph gusts predicted, the Met Office has warned of travel disruption and even a danger to life from flying debris. A further deluge of rain on Wednesday could prove to be an additional hazard for parts of the country.The Met Office says: "Heavy rain will lead to some travel disruption Tuesday morning. Rain will turn heavy and persistent across western Scotland during the early hours of Tuesday, clearing southeast during the morning.

"Should this develop disruption would be expected. However, the most likely scenario is for gusts of 55 to 65 mph within parts of the warning area, most likely the northern Irish Sea and parts of eastern Scotland, bringing some more localised impacts. In addition, heavy rain may prove an additional hazard across northwestern areas."Don't miss the latest news from around Scotland and beyond - sign up to our daily newsletter here.
