 Several flood warnings are in operation across Scotland |
A procession to promote the Edinburgh Military Tattoo was abandoned because of the rain affecting much of Scotland. The march past Glasgow City Chambers was called off for fear the performers would not have dried out in time for their evening show in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, police throughout the country are warning drivers to take extra care when out on the roads.
Inspector David McCulloch of Fife Police said mist, rain and excess speed had contributed to a number of crashes.
Five flood warnings remain, which include:
- the River Tummel downstream of Pitlochry Dam to Ballinluig
- the River Tay from Kenmore to the A9 road bridge upstream of Dunkeld, including Aberfeldy and Dalguise
- the River Earn from Downstream of Crieff to Bridge of Earn
- Ettrick Water
- and Teviot Water
Additionally, 17 flood watch alerts have also been issued by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa).
For full details people can call the Floodline on 0845 988 1188.
On Tuesday morning in Glasgow, flooding on a busy off-ramp of the M8 caused a tailback for east-bound traffic.
 Parts of Scotland have been the heaviest hit in the storms |
Water had to be pumped from the Bothwell Street exit. Sepa's national flood warning team development manager, David Faichney, said: "This type of weather in the summer, although we've not had it for a few years, is not that unusual when you get very humid weather and weather fronts moving up from the south-east to the north-west.
"It certainly makes for a miserable summer."
The continued bad weather has also brought problems of other kinds.
Hundreds of homes have lost power since the downpour started on Sunday night.
And a vehicle carrying a Dundee hospital trauma team crashed in north-east Fife while on its way to an incident.
The appalling weather has been battering the whole of the UK and includes the remains of Hurricane Alex which has contributed to the torrential rain and thunderstorms.
