The Met Office has extended a yellow weather warning for rain until Saturday as further downpours are expected across eastern Scotland.
The heavy rain falling on ground already saturated from Storm Babet’s impact last week may cause flooding and travel disruption, the weather service said.
At least 20 to 30 mm of rainfall will accumulate from Thursday to Saturday, with 50 to 70 mm likely to fall over higher ground and “a lower probability of 80-100 mm in a few locations”.
There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings.
It comes after an amber alert was issued for London and South East England today following torrential rain overnight and into the morning.
The amber alert was issued from 6.13am to 8am on Wednesday for parts of Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton.
