A woman has been rescued from a rapidly rising Perthshire river as torrential rains hit parts of Tayside.
She was part of an outdoors group involved in activities at Rumbling Bridge, near Dunkeld when forecast summer storms hit the area during the late afternoon.
The other members of the party managed to clamber to safety, and the woman escaped injury after being pulled from the River Braan in an operation involving firefighters, paramedics and police.
Meanwhile, Bridge of Earn has been hit by flash flooding after thunderstorms passed across the region.
Fire crews were called to the village shortly after 2.30pm.
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said they had received numerous calls from worried residents.
She said: “We are currently dealing with flooding incidents in Bridge of Earn.
“We have received a lot of calls from the area, the first of which came in at 2.37pm.”
Areas affected included Kintillo Road and Back Street.
An eyewitness said five appliances were in attendance and crews had brought in a boat.
He said: “It’s going crazy here. The fire service have just turned up with a boat.”
A County Antrim father and his two children were seriously injured after being struck by lightning and London was also badly hit, with three people left trapped in their cars after being submerged in flash floods.
And in northern France a 77-year-old man trapped on a flooded road in a severe thunderstorm drowned in his car, the nation’s fifth victim after days of torrential rain.
A yellow weather warning issued for parts of Courier Country on Tuesday has now been lifted.
