The weather joy didn’t last long, with grey skies and showers arriving today.
And conditions are set to worsen throughout the week, with more rain on the way.
Weather charts from the Met Office show showers moving in from the east and drenching the Central Belt and the northeast.
Rain in the southwest will bring heavy rain to the Scottish Borders and parts of Lanarkshire on Tuesday.
The Central Belt will continue to see the worst of the Easter weather with more showers throughout Wednesday.
All of southern Scotland will be battered by rain as a heavy system moves north on Thursday, with lighter showers in the north and Highlands.
There will be a brief dry spell on Thursday night before a large rain system blankets most of Scotland on Friday.
The worst of the rain will hit Dumfries, Lanarkshire, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Tayside and Perth, with up to 8mm falling each hour.

Another mammoth rain spell will then move in on early Saturday morning, bringing more torrential downpours to the south and Central Belt before moving to the northwest Highlands.
And the misery is expected to continue into next week, with forecasters predicting more rainclouds are on the way.
BBC Weather forecasts rain in Glasgow daily from today until April 14, as April showers threaten floods.
Channel 4 weatherman Liam Dutton said: “If you’re hoping for a prolonged spell of dry weather anytime soon, you’re going to be disappointed.
“It’s looking generally unsettled with wind and rain for the first half of April, due to the jet stream being further south than usual.”
And snow threatens from midweek on higher ground in Scotland.
A Met Office forecaster said: “Through the week ahead, the jet stream will drive low pressure systems towards the UK, with further heavy rain and gusty winds quite widely.
“Unsettled weather seems likely to continue with little sign of change, with areas of more widespread rain across the UK and severe gales possible in the exposed west and south.

“Snow is possible for a time over high ground in the North, and it will be rather cold with night frosts at first in the north.
“The following week sees the focus of the most frequent rain pushed towards the northwest, and there may be a trend towards slightly longer spells of more settled weather.”
