Astronomical autumn begins on Sunday, with the equinox occuring around lunchtime and, right on cue, the weather will start feeling more autumnal in the week ahead.
Rain will continue on Monday with amber and yellows in force across many parts of England and Wales.
It’ll stay wet for much of the day with a band of heavy rain stretching from south-west England, the Midlands and into eastern England.
After so much wet weather over the weekend, another 30-50mm of rain could lead to further disruption.
Beyond that, an area of low pressure will sweep in by mid-week to bring further wet and windy weather.
It then turns colder as Arctic air spreads across the UK with temperatures on Friday around 8 to 12 Celsius.
This will be below the late-September average of around 12 to 18 degrees.
