Edinburgh's weather on Tuesday: Dark clouds, heavy rain and some thunder and lightning

Edinburgh is set to be battered by heavy rain and thunderstorms on Tuesday – as is the norm these days.

We've faced more weather warnings than you can shake a stick at in recent times, and forecasters predict another day of misery on that front.

A yellow warning will be in place for large parts, with heavy rain set to start around lunchtime.

Things should be really bad between 1pm and 3pm with dark clouds, downpours and thunder and lightning expected.

The rain is then set to continue through until around 8pm, although there is much less chance of thunder striking later than 3pm.

All that being said, there should still be some sunshine around in the morning, and later in the evening, with temperatures in the high teens throughout.

It's been a summer of really weird weather here in Edinburgh, and Tuesday should sum that up perfectly.
