Eastern Scotland had its wettest October on record in a series which goes back to 1836, according to provisional Met Office figures. It comes after Storm Babet caused disruption across the UK last month, with Brechin in Angus bearing the brunt of the flooding after dozens of families were forced to leave their homes.
The storm claimed the lives of seven people in Britain, including three in Scotland. Eastern Scotland broke its record for rainfall in October, with 235.9mm of rain being 82% more than its average. There were “significant and very severe flood impacts” in the area during Storm Babet, with two red rain warnings issued by the Met Office, the forecaster said. Angus, Dundee, Fife and Kincardineshire were among a number of counties that recorded their wettest October on record.
