London faces another week of downpours as the weather takes a sharp wintry turn.
After several days of temperatures in the mid-teens, mercury in the capital is set to plunge to as low as 10C in the coming days.
It comes ahead of the end of daylight savings on Sunday October 26, which will usher in darker and colder evenings.
This Sunday is expected to see cloudy weather across London and the southeast of England, with rainfall heavy in places from the afternoon, the Met Office said.
Temperatures will remain at highs of 16C, but fall to around 10C overnight.

Monday will see longer and heavier showers and there is a risk of thunder and hail in the region.
Strong winds are also expected, especially in coastal areas.
The rest of the week is likely to see yet more wind and rain throughout as temperatures continue to drop.
Looking ahead to next week from Thursday onwards, the Met Office said the trend is set to continue.
A spokesperson for the forecaster said: “An unsettled weather pattern is likely to dominate across the UK at the start of this period.
“Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, and strong winds are expected as a deep area of low pressure crosses the UK later next week.
“This system will likely move away slowly to leave the following weekend showery and cooler in a northerly flow.
“Into the following week, conditions are expected to be changeable with showers or longer spells of rain across many parts of the UK.
“The cool northerly will likely persist for the first part of the week and wettest weather will probably be in parts of the north. Temperatures are expected to be close to or slightly below normal for the time of year.”
