Britain’s balmy autumn weather will continue over the weekend but dig out the thermals because a cold snap is on its way.
Temperatures could reach 18F (64F) in the south east today (Saturday), well above average for the time of the year.
The unseasonably mild conditions will be enjoyed as far north as Edinburgh, where highs of 15C (59F) are expected.
Sunday will see similar conditions, with patches of rain, but as we enter next week a noticeable change is coming.
Forecasters say widespread nighttime frosts will become the norm as October draws to a close.
And snow is likely to fall in the Scottish Highlands.
But before then we can all enjoy a fine and mainly dry weekend.
The south, central England and parts of Wales will have the best of the weather, with clear skies and sunshine. The north will see more cloud and rain.
A Met Office spokesman said: “Temperatures in the southeast are expected to be between 16C and 18C, which is above average for October.”
Next week the picture becomes more unsettled, with wet and windy conditions across many parts and Scotland likely to have heavy rain.
“It will be noticeably colder across the whole of the UK on Monday,” the Met Office said.
The thermometer will continue to drop to around 11-12C later next week and temperatures could fall even further as we enter November.
