SEPA has issued 20 flood warnings and five flood alerts across Scotland, mainly in the South of the country.
The bad weather caused major travel disruption with trains cancelled or travelling at a speed limit, and drivers urged to avoid heading out if at all possible.
These 12 pictures show just how bad some areas in Scotland became after the rain started falling on Wednesday.
