Angus weekend event organisers are casting anxious looks skyward after a warning the region could be hit by half a month’s worth of rain in a single day.
The Met Office advice came after a raft of weekend events elsewhere in Tayside were cancelled due to fears over the weather.
Severe weather warnings have been given for rain today and thunderstorms over the weekend and Sepa issued flood warnings for Angus.
The Cancer Research UK Kirriemuir Relay for Life starts at noon tomorrow and Glamis Castle is hosting a Dogs’ Weekend.
Tomorrow’s Perth Highland Games at Scone Palace was cancelled and other events have also been affected by the predicted deluge.
Met Office meteorologist Becky Mitchell said there could be up to four centimetres of rain – more than an inch – today.
Defiant Relay For Life secretary and vice-chairman Rhona Guild commented: “Things would have to be pretty dire for us to pull the plug.”
