Dundee has been issued with an amber warning for wind and a yellow warning ahead of another tempestuous period.

Storm Gertrude is expected to batter the Tayside area, bringing heavy rainfall and gale force winds of up to a staggering 80mph.

Just yesterday, the area was issued with a yellow ‘be aware’ warning, but today that has been upgraded.

Strong gusts of up to 80mph could hit – enough to close the Tay Road Bridge.

All of Scotland and most of England has been placed under a Met Office warning.

A Met Office spokeswoman said: “An amber warning is in place for winds between 3am and 10am tomorrow, with southwesterly gales of between 60 and 70mph.

“These could possibly reach 80mph, and are likely to cause some structural damage and disruption to power supplies.

“We have also issued a yellow warning for rain from 3pm today until 6am tomorrow.

“We are estimating between 40 and 60mm of rainfall overnight, possibly a little more in the areas of higher ground.

“There is likely to be some surface water so we would advise drivers to be careful on the roads, and tall vehicles will need to exercise extreme caution in light of the wind speed.”
