The Met Office has warned parts of Scotland will be hit with heavy rain and thundery weather as conditions take a turn following weeks of sun.
The country has spent several days basking in a heatwave, with temperatures exceeding 25C. However, the hot weather was brought to an abrupt end by thunderstorms over the weekend.
Forecasters say this week will start overcast with wet weather following heavy downpours for much of the country overnight. It comes as a yellow Met Office weather warning for heavy rain remains in place until midday, with forecasters expecting some localised flooding due to thundery downpours.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has also issued a flood alert as periodic, heavy rain continues following weeks of dry weather. Averages of around 1mm per hour will continue to fall throughout today, with as much as 4-8mm falling every hours in more northern parts of Scotland during Monday, creating risk of flooding, reports the Met Office.
And according to BBC forecaster Joy Dunlop, things are set to stay warm but a wet throughout the first few days of the week.
"Tomorrow morning, a dry start with plenty of sunshine before heavy, showery rain pushes in from the south.
"Still feeling humid [though], with highs in the twenties".
The Met Office forecasts heavy and thundery bursts throughout tomorrow, with showers broken up by sunshine throughout the day.
Further into the week, the thunder risk remains in place, with showers persisting for much of Scotland. The rain will become a little lighter on Thursday as temperatures remain high, around 18-22C throughout the week.
The warmest of the weather will be enjoyed across the central belt this weekend, with Edinburgh to see the best of the weather. The capital is forecast for sunny conditions on Saturday and highs of 23C.
