People have been urged to stay away from Baxter Park as Storm Babet brings trees crashing down.
More than a month’s worth of rain could fall across Tayside and Fife in the next two days, with strong winds also battering the region.
The extreme weather has already caused widespread disruption, including in the Stobswell area of Dundee.
Pictures taken on Thursday showed large trees had been blown over around Baxter Park, with one narrowly missing cars parked on a nearby residential street.
Councillor Georgia Cruickshank, who represents the Maryfield ward the park comes under, urged residents to stay safe amid the wild weather.
She said: “The important thing is people stay indoors and keep themselves safe. They should only go out if totally necessary.
“I’m out in Broughty Ferry and my back garden looks like the Blitz, so I can imagine the damage that has been done in Baxter Park.
“We’ll not know the extent of what the clean up will be until the storm has calmed down.
“But my main concern is for the safety of my constituents – I hope they can keep themselves safe.”
The Stobswell Forum, an organisation that represents local residents, also warned people to stay away from the park area.
Writing on social media, they said: “Warning – there are big trees coming down in Baxter Park.
“Baxter Park Terrace, south of Park Avenue, looked very shut.
“Please stay home and don’t visit the park.”
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed they were in attendance at the incident to ensure the safety of residents in the area.
From the SFRS: “We received reports of a falling tree blocking access to a property at 1.04pm.
“We had one appliance in attendance to make sure the residents are safe.
“They were sent from the Kingsway East station.”
