It comes after Scotland was hit with thunderstorms on Friday following scorching temperatures.
Glasgow has avoided the yellow warning area by the skin of its teeth but forecasters are still predicting heavy rains will put a dampener on things throughout the day.
On Tuesday, there is as high as a 90 per cent chance the heavens will open with temperatures still reaching around 15 degrees.
Heavy rain is expected to cause flooding of a 'few homes and businesses' across the west of the country until midnight on Tuesday, August 4.
Will the weather affect your plans this week? There'll be heavy #rain for some, but #hot weather to end the week for some too.
