A large band of rain is forecast to move into Scotland on Monday, with 12 UK areas placed on alert for heavy downpours and potential travel disruption. Weather maps indicate widespread wet conditions, especially in northern Scotland and parts of eastern England, while southern Wales and southern England are expected to see clearer skies and warmer temperatures reaching up to 26C. Forecasters warn of possible surface flooding and difficult commuting conditions as the wet weather arrives.

Three men were sentenced to five years and three months in prison for stealing nearly £1 million worth of the weight‑loss drug Mounjaro from a healthcare distribution centre in St Albans. They carried out a coordinated burglary, disabling cameras and returning to collect additional boxes before being identified through phone data, CCTV and ANPR. Police later recovered over £60,000 in cash during property raids. Two of the men also received nine‑month concurrent sentences for possessing criminal property. Authorities highlighted the health risks posed by mishandling the drugs and described the burglary as carefully planned.

Prosecutors argued before the Court of Appeal that detention was the only appropriate punishment for three teenage boys convicted of raping two girls after they received non-custodial sentences. The Attorney General contends the original sentences were unduly lenient, while defence lawyers argued the judge properly considered the offenders’ personal circumstances, including neurodevelopmental issues and age. Judges reviewed claims that the sentencing process was flawed, the severity of the offences, and the adequacy of restraining orders, with proceedings set to conclude on Thursday.
