The hottest September on record is now a long distant memory, with much of the country braced for heavy rain and gale-force winds over the next couple of days.
Today, (October 20) the Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for thunderstorms which will lash much of southern England and the whole of Wales between Wednesday and Thursday.
Strong winds, hail, lightning strikes, and possible flooding could also occur in the affected areas.
The bad weather is likely to disrupt travel, the Met Office said, and experts advised drivers to take greater care on the roads.
Businesses and homes could also be affected by potential power cuts in the coming days.
The Met Office said that Wednesday will be: 'Windy with rain and showers for many, particularly Wales, southwest and central England where lightning and hail is likely, mostly during the morning.'
