A WEATHER warning for strong winds and heavy rain has been issued for the Borders this week.
The Met Office has announced that the Borders will be hit with strong winds and heavy rain on Wednesday (October 5) from 12am to midnight.
The warning covers all of Scotland, with disruption to transport likely, in addition to risk of injury from falling debris.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "There is a chance of a deep low pressure system bringing gusts of 70 to 80 mph to northern parts of the UK on Wednesday.
"Should this develop disruption would be expected.
"However, the most likely scenario is for gusts of 55 to 65 mph within parts of the warning area, most likely the northern Irish Sea and parts of eastern Scotland, bringing some more localised impacts.
"In addition, heavy rain may prove an additional hazard across northwestern areas."
According to the Met Office's warning impact matrix, this warning has a low impact and medium likelihood.
