Flood warnings issued for north-east England and Scotland

Guardian (UK): Flood warnings are in place in north-east England and across Scotland after forecasters predicted more heavy rain. Parts of eastern Scotland could see up to a month of rain fall on Sunday after downpours swept across north-east England and Northern Ireland on Saturday.

Newcastle United were forced to abandon their friendly against the Italian side Fiorentina at St James' Park owing to torrential rain.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) has flood warnings in place for Dundee and Angus, and Tayside. There are lesser flood alerts for Aberdeenshire, central and west-central Scotland, Edinburgh and Lothians, Fife, and Scottish Borders....
