This is the best summary I could come up with:

The red warning states there is “danger to life from fast flowing or deep floodwater” in Aberdeenshire and Angus, with extensive flooding and road closures also expected.

Storm Babet, a complex area of low pressure which developed to the west of the Iberian Peninsula, was named by the Met Office on Monday morning.

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Tony Wardle said the rain would be accompanied by very strong winds that would bring large waves near some eastern coasts.

ScotRail has warned people travelling on Thursday and Friday to check journeys in advance, with Storm Babet likely to cause disruption to services.

The authority was previously criticised over its delay in closing the North Inch floodgates during heavy rain and rising water levels earlier this month, which led to properties and businesses being flooded as a result.

The RNLI warned the strong winds that have been forecast along with heavy rain are likely to cause dangerous conditions for those visiting the coast around the UK and Ireland.
