Parts of Aberdeenshire have experienced rapidly changing weather conditions today, with sunshine giving way to torrential rain and even snow in Oldmeldrum.

Due to localised flooding, a precautionary evacuation of Meldrum Academy was carried out, with all pupils sent home early.

The safety and wellbeing of pupils and staff remained the top priority throughout and the situation was managed carefully on site.

Property Services are continuing to assess the extent of flood damage and the school will remain closed tomorrow (Wed) with online learning being offered - the school will be keeping parents and carers updated through the usual channels.

Scottish Water has been notified of an issue near Auchterellon School. Signage has been put in place to help ensure the road can remain open and used safely.

While there have been some areas of surface water across Formartine, particularly in and around Ellon and Oldmeldrum, no road closures are currently in place.

Motorists are urged to take extra care, reduce speed and remain alert when driving through affected areas, as surface water is likely to remain on some roads for a time.
