Rain, rain, rain. Rained all night, my morning walk the paths are all flooded. The burns are in spate and have burst their banks. The river Tweed is high but is expected to be much higher tomorrow. Because there is a Scottish Borders weather alert for exceptional rain this afternoon - 40mm across the whole region and 60mm in worst affected places. With the ground already saturated, there will inevitably be widespread flooding.
Yikes, I mean, that's nearly 2½ inches of rain in a single afternoon.
The weather man on the radio said yesterday that in the first week of April, Edinburgh has already received 170% of the normal rainfall for the entire month.
