A further yellow weather warning has been issued covering parts of Ayrshire following a weekend of severe disruption across the country. 

Heavy rain has battered the country for the past three days, and further adverse weather is imminent according to the Met Office. 

The organisation has issued a warning for heavy rainfall on Tuesday from 6am to 9pm, and is warning of potential flooding and transport disruption. 

A spokesperson said: "Following disruptive rainfall across much of Scotland in recent days, a further period of fairly heavy rainfall is likely to affect many western parts of Scotland during Tuesday, before the rain begins to clear away southwards during Tuesday afternoon and evening.

"Across many western areas 15-25 mm of rain could fall quite widely, with peak totals of 40-50 mm possible over and around the high ground.

"This may bring further impacts from flooding, including the disruption of travel, given the recent wet conditions."
