Weather experts warn snow might be on its way by the end of October.
The wet and windy drizzle is back and here to stay, with snow only a few weeks away as temperatures plummet across the country.
The Met Office predict that we will see an obvious change in temperatures: with a drop to 13C during the day and up to 8C in Leeds city centre at night over the weekend.
If you need a sign to go out and invest in a sturdy umbrella, this is it.
The Met Office is currently describing the skies over the weekend as “an unsettled spell with heavy rain and near gales possible Saturday. Turning mostly showery from Sunday, sometimes heavy or thundery. Winds remain strong but easing Monday”.
Temperatures are “likely to be lower than average” heading into October with "some longer spells of rain and potential for strong winds at times".
The snowy season started in December last year, with flurries of snow lasting until the beginning of February. According to This Morning’s Meteorological expert Dave King, this year’s snow could start as early as October.

This is due to an impending Snow Moon’s arrival on 29 October.
King told This Morning last week that “there's a snow moon on the 29th of October, followed by two more snow moons in the first three weeks of November so it is gonna be bitterly cold and very frosty".
He also hinted that this may increase gas and electricity bills. Given the current anxieties around gas prices, this may affect how some choose their providers over the coming weeks.
The first sightings of snow have already been spotted in the Scottish highlands, with photographs circulating across the national media of road gritters and snowy mountains.
Snow has not been officially forecast by the Met Office since April, but only time will tell whether Dave King’s predictions on ITV are correct.

Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Clementine Hall
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
