Autumn is slowly creeping up on us as summer is coming to an end.
August will have been underwhelming for many who were expecting glorious sunshine.
However, despite the lack of sun, it has been one of the hottest summers on record.

And it might not be over just yet, with another heatwave on the horizon next month, BirminghamLive reports.
According to one weather expert and the BBC, the start of September is looking very dry and sunny, which is great news for those who want a last-minute barbecue.
John Hammond, of Weathertrending and formerly of the BBC and the Met Office, said: "Many of us can look forward to some fine weather, so don't put away your garden furniture just yet.
"A late blast of summer sunshine is on the menu. It will be late summer at its best, with a sunnier finale to a dull August.
"The mid-20s is possible by midweek, with the fine weather holding on for the weekend and for a few more days into September for most."
A BBC spokesman said: "High pressure looks a bit more likely to stick around through the bank holiday weekend and into the first week of September before gradually declining away.
"This means the first few days of autumn will tend to keep things largely dry across the UK with some warmth in western and northern areas.
"With high pressure to our northwest, a cooler easterly wind in the North Sea and southern half of the UK will keep the temperatures a little below average there.
"Towards the first weekend of September, there are some signals that low pressure may begin to push in as the high starts to weaken and shift north.
"However, confidence is a bit low on the exact timing, and this could hold off until the following week."
