According to the Met Office long-range forecast for Friday, September 22, to Sunday, October 1, it looks the very last sighting of summer.

A Met Office: "The showers are likely to ease from the west leading to a mainly dry start to the weekend (September 30 and October 31).

"Conditions will probably become more unsettled later in the weekend and into the following week as low pressure systems lie to the west or northwest of the UK.

"This will bring showers or outbreaks of rain across many areas, with some heavy bursts at times, especially in the north and west.

"It will often be windy, with a small chance of a spell of very strong winds around the middle of the period. Temperatures are likely to remain near normal."

The warm conditions come after Britain is hit with extratropical cyclone which is set to bring heavy rain and high winds.

Hurricane Nigel, which formed in the Atlantic late on Saturday, has intensified into a Category 1 hurricane early on Monday.
