I like how the headline screams that there are FLOOD ALERTS FOR EDINBURGH and then the article says that SEPA have not in fact issued any.

Yeah, weather fine here.
I wouldn't like it to rain. I might get wet.

Yeh fine in West End too (now 3hrs after Dave posted @ 17.00hrs). Could have biked if I'd known.

I got a smidgin wet when cycling around the Drum Brae around 19:30. By 19:35, it had stopped raining. I suspect I'll survive.

The storm is TOMORROW, people! Don't think we've escaped it yet...
BBC TV forecasting 35mph winds in Edinburgh at 15:00!

Steady rain in Falkirk this morning, but no gales so far (touches wood)

Was a bit wet, and a bit blowy on the way in, but nothing too major. The main annoyance was having to dismount and walk through Haymarket in cleats to get to Torphichen St.
I've no idea where the diversions go now, I somehow ended up at Frasers the other day, and having to dismount and walk over to Lothian Rd.

My neighbour rang our bell this morning to tell me that our car was sitting on the driveway with all the windows fully open!
Stupid car. Fortunately it hadn't been raining too much.

Aye, just been out and it's a wee bit wet and blustery, but nothing we haven't seen before. Maybe worse elsewhere?

Me neither. Except that I was vaguely aware that Palmerston Place was now closed and Manor Place was open. After work yesterday I wanted to have a look at the expansion of Haymarket station, and didn't want to use Princes St to get there. Look at the stupid jiggery pokery I ended up doing! And between Eglinton Crescent and Rosebery Crescent, plus the no right turn out of Grosvenor Crescent, I had to walk my bike because I couldn't work out how else to get from A to B.
The geographical ridge from Donaldson's towards George St makes it bloody hard work on a bike when you're being continually shunted around diversions.
Edit: Also be aware that the tram rails are now in place at Atholl Place, but are mostly crossable at a sensible angle.
