The remnants of Tropical Storm Wanda are barrelling towards the UK and could see strong winds and heavy rain arrive in the coming week.

A colder start for the south of the UK mainland will improve through Friday to bring a slightly warmer day than Thursday.

The weather is turning noticeably colder as we draw nearer to winter, meaning many of us are probably reaching to turn the heating on.

The clocks have gone back, signalling the end of British Summer Time and the start of the wind down for winter.

As we head into a new, colder month the weather becomes more unsettled.

After the unsettled weather we saw over Halloween, Monday will also prove to be a changeable day for most of the UK with a mix of heavy and light showers with sunny spells.

As we head into Halloween many of us will be wondering whether the weather will be a trick or treat this year.

An overnight weather system will see a lot of the UK receive rain in the small hours of the morning today (October 30).

Brits are potentially facing several rainy days, with the Met Office issuing rain warnings for downpours in the coming week, before the country is expected to be hit by a cold blast and lows of -10C.

Most schools across the UK have begun to take time off for the half-term holidays.

As the days become chillier and we're bundling up more it's clear that Winter is slowly creeping in.

Exactly a week until Halloween and the weather seems to be getting warmer again.

The past few days have seen colder gusts of winds from the north of the UK extend to the south.

The autumn season this year has been fairly mild, as it has been rare to get below-average temperatures.

With stronger winds and lower temperatures, the UK will feel noticeably colder than it has recently.

After a very mild night for most, temperatures will continue to look promising throughout the day.

October weather usually means layering up and bringing out the hot chocolates and this year that tradition continues.
