Now the forecaster has issued a warning of thunderstorms throughout the day on Saturday until Sunday at 6am, meaning the local area is subject to 54 hours of weather warnings.

It said driving conditions could become difficult and that there may be some disruption to travel.

A number of roads became impassable yesterday as sudden downpours struck.

A section of Stannergate Road in Broughty Ferry was closed as manhole covers gave way and Scottish Water was called to deal with the issue.

In Fife, residents were rescued by boat as homes were evacuated in Rosyth.

Police were at the scene to ensure members of the public did not approach the area while it was cleared by engineers.

A number of manhole covers were lifted due to the huge volume of rain.

A Scottish Water spokeswoman said: “As a result of heavy rainfall overnight, areas within the vicinity of Broughty Ferry Road, Dundee are experiencing some surface level flooding.

“During such weather events, drains and water courses can struggle to cope with the amount of surface water from buildings, footpaths and roadways.”
