A yellow thunderstorm warning has been issued for Tayside and Fife.

The Met Office warning comes into force from 11am on Monday and is in place until 10pm.

Heavy rain could spark flash floods, with a “small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life”.

There may also be a “slight chance that power cuts could occur” and damage to homes and businesses “from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds”.

“Lightning may also cause impacts.”

Sepa has issued “flood alerts” across Tayside and Fife.

Earlier this week Tayside, Fife and Stirling were issued with a 30-hour rain weather warning.
