Torrential rain and floods hit Glasgow just days before the city welcomes world leaders to the UN annual climate change summit.
Since Wednesday, roads were blocked and cars were abandoned in the heavy floods.
Residents told of becoming stranded up to their knees in water, while speed limits were imposed on trains and motorists queued on Great Western Road.
Some areas of southern Scotland saw almost 80m of rainfall, according to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.
The city will host the October 30-31 G-20 summit. World leaders will discuss the pandemic, climate change and issues that move the global economy.
Pope Francis has earlier urged world leaders to take “radical decisions” at next week’s global environmental summit.
The Pope talked of crises including the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change and economic difficulties, and urged the world to respond to them with vision and radical decisions, so as not to “waste opportunities” that the current challenges present.
“We can confront these crises by retreating into isolationism, protectionism and exploitation. Or we can see in them a real chance for change, he further said.
Earlier, an UN-appointed panel of experts said that the earth is getting so hot
that temperatures in about a decade will probably blow past the most ambitious threshold
set in the Paris accord.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described the report as a “code red” for humanity.
He stressed that it “must sound a death knell for coal and fossil fuels before they destroy the planet.”
