Edinburgh weather: Amber and yellow weather warnings in place for capital and the Lothians

Edinburgh residents are still being warned about a potential "danger to life" and to expect potential flash flooding and transport disruption after amber weather warnings were kept in place by the Met Office.

Flash flooding could hit parts of the Lothians today

The Met Office said that amber and yellow warnings, in place until 3pm today, are in force for Thursday morning, meaning that conditions on the roads will be treacherous for some, with surface water flooding and intense rainfall.

They went on to add that an amber weather warning could lead to "fast flowing or deep floodwater" with a "danger to life". It could also lead to power cuts and communities being cut off by flooded roads.

East Lothian will face the brunt of the amber weather warning this morning and carrying on into the early afternoon.

Flash flooding could hit parts of the Lothians today

The capital has been issued a yellow weather warning with the potential for the situation to worsen and be upgraded to an amber warning as we move into the afternoon.

Drivers are being urged to take care on the roads and when commuting around the capital and Lothians.

Commuters are being advised to check for transport disruption before setting out.
