The areas affected by wind are Angus, Aberdeenshire, Moray, Highland, and the Orkney Islands.
Shetland and Orkney will also be hit with a warning for rain.

“Gusts of between 45 and 50 mph are expected widely with isolated gusts as high as 60 mph at times, especially along coasts and over hills of mainland Scotland, and to 65 mph at times across Orkney.
“This is likely to lead to some disruption and longer journey times. Winds will slowly ease later this afternoon.”
Houses that are at risk of flooding on Shetland and Orkney have been urged to prepare a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.
