Edinburgh has been told to prepare for ferocious weather, as the Met Office issues yet another yellow thunderstorm warning.
The capital is expecting thundery showers and flashes of lightning during this afternoon, and well into the evening, lasting until approximately 9pm.
Although it may feel muggy and be fairly bright outdoors just now in the capital, the Met Office has warned locals not to expect the suspiciously nice weather to last.
Forecasters at the Met Office have stated, "Thundery outbursts possible ahead of more unsettled conditions which are likely to spread."
Their reasoning for the further yellow weather warning is as follows: "Heavy, slow-moving showers, some thundery, may cause travel disruption and flooding in a few places."
Despite the rain and thunderstorms today, the temperatures will remain high, reaching around 18C throughout the day.
The warning has been extended until midnight on Saturday, after beginning at 4am this morning.
