Temperatures are set to turn autumnal with 'significant' winds forecast as a cold front makes it way through the country. Forecasters predict temperatures across Greater Manchester will mostly remain in the teens, but could feel colder with the 'first significant' strong winds of the season.
Strong gusts are forecast for Scotland and this is expected to bring cold air towards the north of England. There could even be dusting of snow in the mountains of Scotland, according to one meteorologist.
Alex Burkill, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "We’ve got a cold front that is pushing its way southwards as we go through to tomorrow, more so later tomorrow and into Monday. It will bring some rain and some strong winds, probably the first significant strong winds of the season so far particularly for Scotland, but the bigger talking point being the cold air that’s going to come down from the north behind it.

"So, temperatures are going to take a bit of a drop. I think Sunday night into Monday is going to be a bit chilly for some but because of the cloud, the rain, the strong winds, temperatures won’t drop too much. I think it’s going to be from Monday onwards when we’re going to see the real cooler feel."
Meteorologist Aidan McGivern told The Express : "It will feel rather autumnal at times, and at the start of next week we have northerly winds which will bring a chill across the UK. The start of the weekend is looking drier and brighter as high pressure extends its influence, but not particularly warm as we have a north-westerly airflow.
"Temperatures will dip below average at the start of next week for the north and the south. It will be cold enough for a touch of frost and cold enough for some snow, but this will be over the tops of the Scottish mountains."
