Edinburgh is set to be hit with heavy rain as a 24-hour monster rainstorm hits the UK on February 2, the Met Office has confirmed.
Heavy showers in the city will start at midnight on Wednesday and continue into the early hours of Thursday morning but there are no flood alerts or weather warnings in place so far.
As much as 100mm of water could be dropped in some parts of the UK, with Scotland expected to take the brunt of the wet conditions.

On Thursday in the capital, it will be cloudy with occasional rain and drizzle and bright at times through East Lothian. It will stay cloudy on Friday continuing to Saturday, with rain pushing in from the west.
Met Office meteorologist Dan Stroud said: "Occasional rain tomorrow (Wednesday, February 1) will become more widespread across northern Britain, perhaps with 5-15mm (falling) quite widely.
"However some hills and mountains may see 25-50mm.
"A further pulse of rain is expected Thursday (February 2), again this mainly affecting North West Scotland, perhaps giving an additional 100mm by the end of the day on Thursday over hills and mountains."

While heavy rain is to be expected, there are no weather warnings in place at this time, meaning that disruption should be minimal.
The Met Office Meteorologist continued: "Beyond that high pressure is set to becoming more dominant, with high pressure over the UK or eventually to the east.
"However the wettest conditions (are) always reserved for the far north and west as we move into the first week of February."
