With the weather taking a turn for the worse, locals across Tayside and Fife took to social media to post footage of a thunderstorm which hit the region overnight.
Although the country is in the midst of a heatwave, which has brought abnormally high temperatures to the UK in recent weeks, thunder and lightning moved past both Angus, Dundee and Fife on Thursday evening.
Despite the overnight conditions, parts of Scotland are expected to enjoy highs of up to 26C on Friday.
It comes as the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for Tayside and Fife, with thunder, lightning and torrential rain forecast to continue on Saturday morning.
Blair Durno captured footage of Thursday night’s thunderstorm as it passed over Arbroath at about 10.40pm.
Others took to social media to post videos and photos of the weather.
Had a fab thunderstorm last night, bit tame but still, we don’t get them very often in Fife Scotland #thunderstorms pic.twitter.com/bsNefMCGva

Sunny Boy says this is how its looking just now . . . If we’re lucky it’ll just skiff the EASTERN side of #Scotland
Don’t fret though, as there’s a lot more bubbling away . . . The next 2-3 days are going to be exceptionally “stormy” #ScotsStorm pic.twitter.com/pS4M7eV5yb
