Yellow weather warnings have been issued for Edinburgh over the next seven days as the capital prepares to be battered by heavy rain and blustery conditions caused by Storm Dudley.
Locals would be well advised to have the waterproofs on for much of the week, but Wednesday and Thursday have been singled out by Met Office forecasters as the peak of the inclement weather - with winds reaching 70mph.
Experts warn an "active jet stream will drive a series of low-pressure systems across the country" during the next few days, while a "period of very strong winds" is expected towards the end of the week.
