Adobe StockA weather warning remains in place with substantial rainfall expected across much of Scotland.
The Met Office issued a yellow warning, which came into force at midnight on Sunday and is due to last until 9pm on Monday.
The forecaster has warned of potential flooding and disruption to bus and train services.
An area of rain is expected to move steadily east during Monday, turning heavy at times during the morning.
“Whilst the rain may ease for a time during the afternoon across southern Scotland, another pulse of heavy rain is possible here during the evening, with all rain eventually clearing by late Monday”, the Met Office has said.
20-40 mm of rain is likely to fall quite widely across the warning area, but higher ground could see 50-60 mm, the warning states.
The amber rain warning says “heavy rain is likely to bring some disruption and probable flooding on Monday”.
“In addition to the potential for flooding impacts, this increases the chance of landslides on both natural and infrastructure slopes.
“Strong south to south-westerly winds will also accompany the heavy rain, with gales possible around coasts and over high ground.”
Homes and businesses could be flooded, and there may also be transport cancellations and power cuts.
Some communities could be cut off by flooded roads, officials said.
