UK weather: 'Extreme' conditions forecast - as train companies issue 'do not travel' warnings due to heavy rain

Extreme rainfall and flooding is forecast for Scotland and northern parts of England - as train companies urge passengers not to travel on some routes. The warning comes as northern and southern parts of the UK will have contrasting weather this weekend, with high temperatures and torrential rainfall affecting different areas.

While a yellow weather alert, warning of 'heavy and persistent rain' is in place for much of Scotland until 6am on Sunday. The Met Office said the yellow warning had been extended further southwest on Saturday. It comes as authorities in Scotland issued fresh flood warnings ahead of the 'major rainfall event'. Between 150mm and 180mm of rain is forecast for parts of the Highlands, Network Rail said.
