Certain parts of Scotland have been placed under a weather alert for thunderous storms, with heavy rainfall likely to appear over "short" periods of time.
And it looks like there are more summer storms to come this week, according to the Met Office, who have warned that the heavy rain has the potential to cause flooding and other disruptions. The forecasters have said that the thunderstorms developing in the afternoon on Monday, June 12, may also cause power cuts to homes and businesses, and people are being urged to take extra care when travelling.
The forecaster said: "Although some places will miss them, thunderstorms are likely to develop over parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland from early Monday afternoon. These will be fairly slow moving with the potential for large rainfall amounts in a short period of time.
