Heavy rain and thunderstorms on Friday marked the end of Glasgow's heatwave, with the Met Office issuing weather warnings for some parts of the UK.
The torrential rain came with alerts the storms could cause sudden flooding and power cuts.
Some areas of the country were even warned of "danger to life."
Twitter users across Glasgow, and its outskirts, shared images and video of the storm taking hold on Friday night.
