Edinburgh weather: Met Office forecasts when the rain stop as city wakes up to gloomy weather

Edinburgh has had a gloomy morning with a downpour and dark skies.

After an 'above average' September, October's temperatures have dropped and Scotland is back to experiencing more typical Scottish weather.

The evening have been colder with many Edinburgh locals wondering if it is time to finally put the heating on, or just brave it with another jumper.

It has been raining for the majority of the last week with showers and unsettled weather moving through the city.

However, the rain won't last forever with the Met Office predicted better weather for Edinburgh.

The Met Office has forecasted that the rain is expected to end this evening with Wednesday looking much brighter to make up for the grey skies.
