There were weather warnings and flood alerts in place on Monday as Storm Brendan hit Edinburgh and the Lothians.
STV weather presenter Sean Batty said that it was one of the few times a storm can accurately be called a "weather bomb."
The weather is set to take a wet turn once again today, with rain forecast from around 1pm.
