itemprop=description content=The Met Office has warned of ‘danger to life’ from the extreme conditions forecast for Scotland and northern England.
Ten motorists have been airlifted to safety after landslides blocked a main road, as Scotland suffers a month’s worth of rain while southern UK is bathed in late summer sunshine.
The Met Office has issued both amber and yellow rain warnings for large parts of Scotland and northern England from Saturday to Sunday morning.Photos have also shown high water levels at Dalmuir in West Dunbartonshire, which were said to be the same height as a train window. Dundee’s Scottish Premiership game with Ross County has also been called off due to a waterlogged pitch with Dunfermline’s Championship clash with Arbroath also being postponed after failing a pitch inspection.
“With this in mind, we’re limiting train speeds on almost all routes to protect passengers, staff and the railway. Check your journey before travelling.”Tom Morgan, a Met Office meteorologist, said: “There is a huge contrast in weather across the UK, it’s very wet across much of Scotland where we have several weather warnings in place including an amber warning.
The warm weather in southern parts was expected to last until Tuesday with the worst of the rain expected by Sunday in Scotland.
