Edinburgh remains under a flood ‘alert’ amid another wet morning in the Capital following several days of heavy rain.
The Capital was battered by sheets of pouring rain on Wednesday and Thursday, enforcing a yellow weather warning from the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA).
A dreich start to Saturday has cleared in the early afternoon, with the rest of the day remaining relatively dry.
However, the drookit conditions are set to return with a vengeance on Sunday as Met Office forecasters predict rain from around 8am.
SEPA has since issued a flood alert for the city, however several other areas of Scotland have been handed more severe flood ‘warnings’.
Extreme rainfall has caused major damage, with two bridges spanning the River Annan in Dumfries and Galloway being washed away and firefighters being called to a rescue operation in Whitesands, Dumfries.
Another alert for heavy rainfall has been issued for most of Sunday until 6am on Monday.
Police in Dumfries and Galloway, which has been badly hit by the heavy downpours this week, have urged people not to park near the River Nith due to its rising level.
Officers said the river is due to flood the Whitesands area of the region on Saturday.
Dumfries and Galloway VOST, a group reporting major incidents in real time, said the East car park in Whitesands has closed as water levels continue to rise.
A spokesperson for the group urged residents in the area to remove their vehicles adding, "it's estimated that the river will come out of the channel at 11am with the peak at 2pm".
Sunday forecast
According to the Met Office, Edinburgh can expect "cloud and heavy rain spreading north across all parts in the morning with strong southeasterly winds.
"Rain and winds will ease followed by scattered heavy showers.
