BRITS are set to be battered by more rain after yesterday's landslide and flooding chaos.
The Met Office has activated new weather warnings stretching into the coming week in Scotland.
A yellow warning covers most of the region today, while a more sever amber alert lingers over central and eastern Scotland until 2pm.
The latter warns of a "danger to life" due to fast-moving floodwater, with homes and businesses at risk.
Some communities may even be cut off by power cuts and travel chaos caused by the flooding.
A number of train operators have cancelled their services north of the border, while some lines are under inspection.
