The UK heatwave predicted for August is reportedly cancelled as forecasters say the rest of the month could be bland - although there may be hope for September.
Forecasters had predicted that temperatures could soar to "above average" conditions just in time for Bank Holiday weekend.
Brits hoped for similar scenes to those at the end of the July, when a scorching heatwave hit the UK bringing temperatures of up to 30C in some areas.
But the Met Office has now said there is little to no hope of another heatwave this summer.
Speaking to The Sun, forecaster Steven Keates said the "bland" bleak weather is set to continue.
He said: "This summer is not going to be remembered for warmth. It's been very bland.
"We've had flooding, some parts of the country have seen double their average rainfall and temperatures have been unremarkable.
"It's been wishy-washy to say the least - and that's how it's going to end."
He added: "A heatwave is not on the cards - but let's not give up hope altogether.
"Some September's have come up trumps over recent years."
Forecasters predict today will be a generally cloudy day across the UK.
There will be patchy light rain or drizzle in place, mainly across western coasts and hills and across parts of northern Scotland.
Tonight, rain in northern Scotland will move across some parts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Tomorrow, there will be a cloudy start for most of the UK, with areas of light rain and drizzle.
Cloud is set to break up through the day with a scattering of showers developing, according to forecasters.
Looking further ahead, the Met Office predicts sunny spells for many on Friday - but rain may hit those in the west.
Temperatures will turn warmer into the weekend, but conditions will be 'unsettled' with spells of rain for most.
It comes as European holiday destinations are suffering in an extreme heatwave as air from the Sahara creates a "heat dome" over the Mediterranean.
The catastrophic heatwave raging in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal is causing devastating wildfires and potentially the hottest temperatures ever seen on the continent.
It comes as a town on the Italian island of Sicily may have recorded the highest temperature ever reached in Europe as the mercury soared to 48.8C last week.
If the readings are approved, it will beat the record of 48C recorded in Athens, Greece, in 1977, as set out by the World Meteorological Organisation.
