Edinburgh weather for August 8 2019: a much brighter (and drier) day ahead after floods

It's good weather news today, as the heavy downpours that caused yesterday's severe flooding are giving way to a much brighter day with sunny spells. This follows a mostly dry night with temperatures of 8 degrees.

We're not immune from scattered showers, which will becoming more frequent for a time in the afternoon, however it's much warmer and there are no thunderstorms forecast: the maximum temperature will be 21 °C.

It's certainly a good idea to pack an umbrella, but it seems you definitely won't be swimming to work. Here's the full hourly breakdown:
