A low-pressure system south of Iceland sent a procession of wet and windy weather across the country.
But things are starting to look more sunny as we head into the weekend.
Met Office forecasters have predicted that warmer weather is on the way, with temperatures in the high teens and low 20s across Scotland.
Aberdeen can expect highs of 20C on Saturday, with around 18C in Edinburgh.
Glasgow will experience sunny intervals, but it will be cloudier at times across Argyll with a few light showers.
Meanwhile, Dunfermline, Dundee and Perth are predicted to have a largely warm weekend with plenty of sunshine.
Met Office forecaster, Alex Burkill, said: “The weekend’s looking largely fine. There will be some showers coming in from the west on that westerly flow, so most likely in western areas.
“In fact, in the east, you would be pretty unlucky to catch a shower.

“A bit more cloud building and spreading throughout the day but there should be some bright sunny spells.
“The wind is not particularly strong but it will be blustery in the north but it should be a warm weekend.”
By Monday, the rain will return and spread across many parts of the country, along with a blustery wind that will make it feel colder.
