Weather warnings have been issued by forecasters as the remnants of Hurricane Bertha continue to move across the country.
After Wales and southern England were left drenched on Sunday, northern parts braced themselves for the unpleasant conditions today.
By early this morning the town of Lossiemouth, in Moray, Scotland, had recorded almost a average month's rainfall in just 12 hours, while Aberdeenshire saw gusts of 50mph.
A First World War flypast over the white cliffs of Dover involving three bi-planes escorted by modern-day Tornado GR4s to commemorate those who flew and fought in the Great War has been cancelled due to unstable winds across the Channel.

While parts of England and Wales are under Met Office warnings for rain and wind, forecasters predict it is likely to clear up as the storm continues its course.
Nazaneen Ghaffar, Sky News Weather Presenter, said: "Today most of Scotland and northeast England have a yellow warning from the Met Office to be aware of the rain that will effect these areas today, as the low pressure system that gave us the wet and windy weather on Sunday is still close by in the North Sea.
"A higher amber warning has been issued for the Highland and Grampian regions, with over 100mm of rainfall possible in less than 24 hours, leading to the risk of localised flooding.
"As well as the wet weather, it'll be another breezy day for all with strong winds across Scotland, gusting up to around 60mph across eastern coasts.
Many areas were flooded on Sunday, including parts of Grimsby "Elsewhere over the UK and Ireland there will be sunny spells today but also fairly widespread showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery.
"The rest of the week looks to remain quite unsettled with further showers sometimes merging into longer spells of rain.
"By the end of the week it should become more settled but temperatures will still remain around the average or just below."
In Scotland, motorists have been warned to expect disruption and Transport Scotland alongside its partners, including the local authorities, Sepa and Police Scotland, said they are monitoring the situation closely to ensure they are well prepared for the conditions.
Traffic Scotland operator manager Stein Connelly said drivers in parts of the North East and Highlands & Islands are likely to face difficult road conditions due to heavy rain.
"We would advise people in these areas to prepare for some travel disruption and to allow extra time for their journeys," he said.
"They should also check the relevant websites for up to date travel information."
The Met Office said people should be prepared for some disruption to transport with localised flooding likely.
It said outdoor activities will also be hazardous due to heavy rain combined with strong winds.
Police Scotland said: "There is a possibility of flooding in low-lying land, roads and to rivers which could cause delays to early morning traffic.
"Police are asking that the public allow extra time for travel and if driving, to be aware of possible flooding."
