A YELLOW weather warning for heavy rain and thunderstorms has been issued as the dry weather in Scotland looks set to come to an end.
The Met Office has said thunderstorms are likely to hit southern and central areas of Scotland on Sunday, with heavy rain spreading further north on Monday.
Flood alerts are already in place for much of Scotland for Sunday evening.
The Met Office warned that there was a "small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads" and a "slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses".
It further warned that some homes and businesses could be flooded, as they were after a downpour broke the hot weather in Glasgow on Friday evening.
The news comes after prolonged dry weather led the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (Sepa) to say that all parts of Scotland were facing some level of water scarcity.
Yesterday, Transport and Net Zero Secretary Mairi McAllan granted exceptional measures to Scottish Water to allow them to increase the amount of water they take from a burn in Skye to ensure supply to the village of Broadford.
Sepa warned that a third of areas in Scotland will be at a significant water scarcity level by June 30 if there is no recovery in river levels.
