As a heatwave continues to hit Glasgow and Scotland, Scottish Water has warned the public of a possible water shortage.
Temperatures are predicted to reach highs of up to 28C in the coming days, with the summer scorcher due to continue for the rest of the week.
Now, the public has been urged to avoid paddling pools, jet washers and garden hoses in order to protect water supplies during the heatwave.
An extra 200 million litres of water per day is being produced to cope with the spike in demand during the sweltering temperatures, said Scottish Water - enough to fill nearly 2.4 million baths.
He said: "These are very challenging conditions because of the warm, dry weather we've been experiencing and the forecast for the coming days is for more of the same.
"Current levels are below average for this time of year, but the main issue is demand for water from customers, which has increased considerably during the warm weather.
"When garden water use increases dramatically, for things like sprinklers and paddling pools, that places considerable strain across our infrastructure to move the water as quickly as the customers need it."
He called for people to use watering cans instead of hoses, only use the dishwasher and washing machines when fully loaded, and only partially fill paddling pools, then use the leftover water to water plants.
The Met Office forecast for tomorrow predicts: "Overnight low cloud soon burning off to leave a dry, sunny and very warm or hot day. Chance of some patchy coastal mist in the northwest. Maximum temperature 28 °C."
Meanwhile, later in the week is expected to see "little change. Staying dry, sunny and very warm or hot. Some early low cloud in the Central Belt burning off in the mornings."
