Brits are set to be hit with a weekend of heavy showers and strong gales as temperatures plummet. The mercury is set to drop to 16C in London and the South East today, thanks to an "unseasonably" deep low-pressure system moving in from Scandinavia.
Wales and Northern Ireland are forecast to see highs of 15C while the west of Scotland will be reasonably warm, with highs of 19C.
Downpours, thunderstorms and winds of up to 38mph are also being forecast by the Met Office. The rain is set to move southwards over England and Wales throughout the day, with Northern Ireland and northern Scotland due to see sporadic showers.
The grim forecast has led Prime Minister Boris Johnson to appeal to lockdown-weary Brits not to hold social gatherings indoors
