Two weeks of "unsettled" weather are coming to the UK, ushering in the autumn season.
Heavy wind and rain will lash parts of the country from September 14 to 28 as large parts will see their last glimpses of summer this week, the Met Office has predicted.
After a particularly wet month for the UK, September is expected to be wetter and windier
Temperatures will also hover around 20 or the high teens.
Forecasters say it is due to an area of low pressure set to move in from Sunday.
This combined with the effects of "increased tropical storm activity" in the US will see Brits bracing themselves for a miserable month ahead.
Alex Burkill, a Met Office forecaster, said: "It's fair to say the beginning of the month will be rather settled, with high pressure dominating.
"There will be drizzle and cloud in the east this week, but in the West, certain regions will certainly hit the low 20s and see glimpses of sunshine here and there.
"However, this could perhaps be the last of the summery weather until the end of September, with a prolonged spell of unsettled conditions and low pressure from Sunday."
Mr Burkill warned that September is likely to see "more rain and wind" than in August.
This month was wetter than average in parts of the South East and London.
He added: "The low-pressure, along with the increased tropical storm activity across the Atlantic will certainly give the month a more autumnal- feel than previous years.
"The temperature is likely to remain around the average for the year, perhaps dipping a bit cooler until the end of the month - when it may well get drier again."
It comes as the weather this week is set to remain cloudy and overcast.
There will be some light showers in the Central and Eastern parts of the UK before sunny intervals break through in the West and the South.
These conditions remain unchanged as the outlook for the rest of the week is cloudy and cool.
Temperatures are expected to stay cool and will just about go above 20C in the South of England, with mid-teens expected across the nation.
