Locals across Tayside have been warned to expect flooding today.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) has placed a flood alert across Dundee and Angus, with the region expected to be hit by thunderstorms and heavy rain.
A Met Office yellow warning of rain is also in place across Tayside and Fife, with thunder, lightning and possibly even hail due later today.
Sepa said heavy showers will cause flooding on low-lying land and “isolated properties”.
Sepa said: “A flood alert has been issued for Dundee and Angus. Heavy, slow moving showers are forecast for Dundee and Angus from midday onwards on Thursday.
“This could cause minor disruption if the heaviest showers fall over urban areas or the transport network. Impacts may include localised flooding to low lying land, infrastructure and isolated properties. Due to the localised nature of these showers, not all areas will be affected.
