Many flights were delayed and train services cancelled as fatal storms swept western Germany
The north of Scotland can expect to be hit with torrential rain and thunderstorms this weekend.
A yellow warning has been issued by the Met Office for heavy rain tomorrow and on Sunday.
It will affect Grampian and the Highlands and Islands.
The Met Office warning said: “Areas of heavy, thundry showers will develop over England and Wales from Friday night before moving northwards into Scotland during Saturday.
“The location of these is uncertain but where they do form some torrential downpours are possible with frequent lightning, large hail and locally strong gusts.
“Significant flooding is possible where these do occur from surface water as well as from small, fast responding watercourses. The frequent lightning, large hail and strong gusts could also be an additional hazard.”
This is the latest bout of stormy weather to hit the country, following thunder and lighting storms on Wednesday when the UK was struck by lightning more than 3,000 times in just two hours.
The Highlands will not experience the worst of the weather until Sunday, but Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray are expected to face rain for the whole weekend.
The Met Office has advised care when travelling.
