Summer is well and truly over, as temperatures across the UK are expected to plummet next week.
The Met Office has predicted that the country will experience the "first significant" strong winds of the season as a cold front is expected to bring in showers and cold winds. This means temperatures are expected to drop.
From Monday onwards, England, Wales and Northern Ireland are expected to see highs of 12C and 13C, getting slightly warmer on Sunday before the heavy rain and cloud moves in. According to the Met Office, in Liverpool Tuesday is expected to be a wet and dreary day as temperatures could drop to below 10C.

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."
Next week, some parts of the North West could see temperatures drop and frost, as it "turns chilly overnight". Tuesday is predicted to be cloudy and overcast for the whole of the UK, with some sunny spells in the late morning and early afternoon across the east and north-east parts of Scotland and England.
The nights are also set to become darker earlier as the clocks go back next month, another sign that summer is over. The mornings will be much darker and sunsets will happen at around 4pm meaning many of us will be leaving work in the dark.
The clocks are set to go back one day before Halloween this year, on Sunday, October 30 2022. When the clocks go back, the UK is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The clocks are moved forward an hour and back so we can make use of the best natural light as the earth orbit the sun.
