Hundreds of people throughout Tayside, Fife and Stirling were left without power as a result of Storm Isha.
Strong winds and heavy rain battered the region overnight after an amber warning was issued by the Met Office.
Roads across the region were left blocked by trees and some schools shut on Monday morning.
More than 40 power cuts were reported in the Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) area covering Perth and Kinross, Dundee, Angus and parts of the Stirling area.
SP Energy Networks – which oversees supplies in Fife and Stirling city – also had several reports of power cuts in its area.
On Tuesday, it confirmed that a further 2,000 customers across central and southern Scotland had had their power restored – bringing the total to 60,500.
A spokesperson said: “Work is ongoing to restore supplies to the remaining 1,500, with additional resources brought in to help achieve this as safely and quickly as possible as we face worsening conditions from Storm Jocelyn later today.”
A spokesperson for SSEN confirmed more than 37,000 have had their power restored as of noon on Tuesday across its area – which covers the whole of the north of Scotland and parts of southern England.
370 properties remain without power at this time, with engineers on site at most of the power cuts in the Tayside region.
SSEN has set up two welfare vans providing hot food and drinks to customers without power.
These are located at the Broch Cafe in Strathyre, Stirling, and Maidenplain Place in Aberuthven.
Andy Smith, operations director at SSEN Distribution, said: “Storm Isha caused widespread damage to our network on Sunday night and Monday morning, and I am grateful for the patience and support our customers have shown as we have worked hard to reconnect their power.
‘Our teams’ focus today is to ensure we are fully prepared for Storm Jocelyn’
“Yesterday, our teams did an incredible job to reconnect 37,000 customers in just one day, and they continue to work hard to restore power to the last 370 homes today”.
“Other than reconnecting these last customers from Isha, our teams’ focus today is to ensure we are fully prepared for Storm Jocelyn that is due to arrive in our network area at around 6pm this evening and bring the strongest winds in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
“Our teams are well prepared and on hand to respond tonight and tomorrow as required.
