PERTH — The weekend’s named storm turned up on schedule only to discover that Storm Austen had already soaked everything worth soaking. “I’ve got all this rain and nowhere to put it,” it reportedly complained over the Tay.
Residents offered sympathy and a towel. The Met Office’s regional forecast suggests more unsettled weather, which Perth has taken as a personal compliment. Check the forecast before you travel, keep away from flooded paths, and bring the good umbrella.
The real story: Context: unsettled weekend weather in Tayside; check Met Office forecasts.
