Amber weather alert for East Lothian as torrential rain moves in

Forecasters have warned of "treacherous" conditions amid intense rainfall across south east Scotland.

The Met Office has an amber weather warning in place for East Lothian until three pm today (Thurs 13 June).

There is particular concern over the river level in Haddington.

Surface water flooding could cause problems for motorists while there is a "small chance" some communities could become cut off.

The Met Office tweeted: "Amber and yellow warnings are in force, so conditions on the roads will be treacherous for some with surface water flooding and intense rainfall."

There are currently no Met Office weather warnings in place for Friday and the weekend, with conditions forecast to be calmer.

The weather is expected to be drier, warmer and sunnier, but with the risk of heavy and thundery showers in some places
