Scotland is set to be hit by thunderstorms as the hot weather gives way to heavy rain.
Large areas of the west coast including Glasgow, as well as Edinburgh and Aberdeen are under a yellow warning from the Met Office with heavy rain expected.
Flood alerts are in place for Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen City, Argyll and Bute, Ayrshire and Arran, Central, Dumfries and Galloway, Dundee and Angus, Edinburgh and Lothians, Fife, Scottish Borders, Tayside, West Central Scotland.
A weather yellow warning for thunderstorms will cover southern Scotland from midnight until the early hours of Monday morning, and on Sunday was expanded to include northeastern parts of the UK including Aberdeenshire.
The Met Office said that the warning is valid until midnight on Sunday.
It covers areas including Northumberland and Aberdeenshire.
“We have a third thunderstorm warning overnight for southern Scotland,” Mr Morgan said.
“That expires at 6am."
“And then once that’s cleared, there will be a few thunderstorms tomorrow.
“But for the vast majority they will be a bit more scattered in nature than today.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
