When I looked at the lightning/radar maps just around half an hour ago, there wasn't any lightning showing up with although there were already some very bright echoes there.

I've just looked at that again though, and there are now some lightning strikes associated with that.

However, these storms still have to cross the relatively cool Firth of Firth before they actually reach us, and what's the betting that they fizzle out before doing so?

You are probably correct, I'm keeping an eye on it though......we don't need more heavy rain!

That would suggest to me that this is already all fizzling out and that will show us yet again, that yet another yellow warning for thunderstorms here in Edinburgh has been a complete waste of time.😡🤢

There might still be enough in that for us to get a shower of rain (or even a spell of rain) if that reaches us, but we're clearly not going to get even the least bit of thunder or lightning from that now.🤢

There's a new yellow warning out 😲

At this rate Swanston weather station will have four times it's May rainfall 😱

I  therefore wouldn't give up hope in the south of Edinburgh because it looks as though the storms have reformed a bit after reaching the warmer land surface over East Lothian and the same thing could easily happen over Edinburgh.

As I write, it's now also absolutely chucking it down with rain here in NW Edinburgh.

Yes, I had already seen that separate yellow warning and since that is just for rain, that is the sort of warning which has generally been coming off recently.

I'm quite happy to give up hope. My roofs knackered and even though the roofers coming round on tuesday anything else on top of the last 7 days ridiculous rainfall is just going to add to the damage
