According to the Met Office, Edinburgh can expect a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers today, which is expected to turn to thunderstorms in the evening.
Capital locals are to enjoy temperatures in the mid-20s today, but at around 7pm this evening, there is a warning for thunder and lightning.

The thunderstorm is predicted to bring a flash of heavy rain, with a 50 per cent chance of precipitation.
More severe thunderstorms are also predicted for Tuesday, July 27, with the capital to experience stormy conditions from 5pm until around 9pm.
The Met Office has warned that the heatwave is to be replaced with “unsettled and thundery conditions” across the United Kingdom.
Met Office Principal Operational Meteorologist Frank Saunders said, “This more unsettled weather brings a risk of torrential downpours and flooding in some places.
“However, areas further north will cling onto see some fine weather through the weekend, although not quite as hot as recently.”
The Met Office added: “The unsettled theme looks set to continue early next week, with the current forecast showing some more persistent rain for much of the UK.”
