Curious, then, that I've just seen footage on BBC news of the closure of the main west coast line near Lockerbie closed because of the amount of flood water running down it. The MetO weather radar makes it look as if that storm is about to visit Edinburgh, too - poetic justice!
Of course, I didn't say that these storms never happen here at all and merely was just saying that they never seem to impact us on a Saturday despite the fact that we have had yellow warnings for that on the last two Saturdays.
That storm which you have mentioned on that Met Office radar map did just reach the south of Edinburgh but once again, it is missed the very part of Edinburgh where I live which means that once again, there is no impact from that here.
I can hear the distant rumbles of thunder from that in the distance, but that is no different to what I experienced on this very same day during last weekend when those storms missed us to our west.
Now, that storm has passed over and the Sun is trying to come out once again, without impacting here one single bit.
Another point here which is worth noting is that this yellow warning has been in force ever since midnight and yet, it is only just been in the last hour or so that these storms have started to appear. In fact, these storms were never really forecast to even develop here until some time during this afternoon, so that has been more than 12 hours where that warning has been a complete waste of time because in my books, it should never have came into effect until the point in time during this afternoon where those thunderstorms were expected to develop, rather than being in effect straight from midnight.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
