After nearly a week of sunny weather and blue skies, Scotland is set for another long day of thunderstorms as forecasters warn of flooding and power cuts.
A second yellow weather warning for thunder and lightning has been issued by the Met Office, which is to remain in place for most of the country until midnight on Monday.
It comes after Scotland was hit by several thunderstorms that dotted the country on Sunday evening and into the early hours of the morning, with thunder claps and lightning strikes.
Footage shows lightning forks piercing the night sky across the country, including Coupar Angus, Perth, Bonnybridge and Wormit.
The Met Office issued one of two yellow thunderstorm warnings on Sunday, as parts of the country saw rain paired with thunder and lightning.
The Met Office have further warned that thunder storms may cause possible disruptions on Monday - as chances of flooding or lightning strikes could result in delays or cancellations to trains and bus services.
A separate yellow rain warning has been issued for southern Scotland, which will see spells of heavy rain on Tuesday from midnight until 10am.
The Met Office warns that there is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost.
It states: "There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds. Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services
"Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures."

Drivers are being urged to take extra care, as flash floods can create difficult conditions on the road. According to the Met Office, even light rain can reduce your ability to see and be seen.
The forecaster has issued advice on how to safely travel in storms, rain and strong winds. A good rule to follow is ‘if it’s time for your wipers, it’s time to slow down’.
For what to do when the road you are on becomes flooded, the best thing to do is turn around and find another route. According to the Met Office, the number one cause of death during this weather is driving through flood water - so you it's better to "turn around, don't drown".
Flood water also contains hidden hazards which can damage your car. Even just one egg-cup size of water sucked into your car's engine will cause severe damage.
