A prolonged period of dry weather across much of Scotland came to an abrupt end overnight.

Many parts of the country saw thunder, lightning and heavy rain with a number of weather warnings in place.

大象传媒 Scotland news website readers and 大象传媒 Weather Watchers captured the scene from across the country.

Further downpours and storms are forecast - particularly across the north east of the country - as temperatures drop by several degrees.
