Residents should expect more thunderstorms today as further weather warnings have been issued.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning beginning at noon on Monday and lasting until 9pm.
The warning comes after a similar warning over the weekend, after days of hot, dry weather, which have led to wildfires.
It covers large areas of the Highlands, including Inverness, Aviemore, Kingussie and Fort William stretching east as far as Banff and into Aberdeenshire as well as extending north past Ullapool.

Yellow warning for thunderstorms across Highlands
Thunderstorms are most common in the summer months and are likely to produce hail, gusty winds and torrential downpours.
Heavy rain was forecast to hit some spots on Sunday afternoon with the possibility of lightning strikes.
The Met Office warned there is a “small chance” homes and business could be damaged or flood quickly.
This could also potentially cause power cuts.
Residents have also been made aware of potential disruption on the roads, such as spray and sudden flooding or closures creating difficult driving conditions.
The weather may also have an impact on public transport services.
