The sun momentarily appeared on Friday as the western end of the city landmark welcomed visitors back.
George Square has been closed since early 2025 so it could be redeveloped as part of work costing around £20 million.
Images taken by the Glasgow Times show people enjoying a quick break from the rain on the new seating.
The remainder of George Square is still shut as work continues; however, this is scheduled to be completed by the end of October.
According to Glasgow City Council (GCC), George Square is ‘at the heart’ of the city’s ongoing transformation and forms the ‘central point’ of the Avenues network.

Once fully reopened, the square will be a ‘welcoming space’ for events, festivals, and for people to sit and meet up.
It will have more green spaces, places for sitting, meeting, and enjoying the city centre, landscaping, as well as new play and sensory gardens.
The design is said to have been developed through a collaboration between architectural firm John McAslan and Partners and GCC, following ‘extensive’ consultation with Glaswegians.
The Avenues Project and the redevelopment of George Square form part of the city centre strategy and the Glasgow City Region City Deal regeneration programme, which aims to stimulate economic growth and attract inward investment.
The 123.4 million programme is backed by the UK and Scottish Governments.
