It is time to put away the sweaters and pumpkin spiced lattes because this awful arctic blast weather is almost over.
Temperatures this week so far have plummeted across large parts as Brits endured a week of freezing temperatures.
And it was all thanks to arctic air being blown down from the north and there’s even been snow in Scotland.
Typical daytime temperatures in the south in September are around 19°C but this week they have been three degrees lower than this.
But there is some good news – temperatures will start to creep back up as we enter into the weekend.
But before all that, the chilly conditions continue as overnight temperatures mean there is some ground frost around in northern parts of England.
For the rest of the day across London and the south the sun will come out with highs of 17°C.
But again tonight it is going to feel rather chilly with lows of 9°C so make sure to wrap up if you are going out.

A Met Office spokesperson said: ‘A cold start Friday with some early mist patches clearing to give a fine bright day with lighter winds and plenty of sunshine. Maximum temperature 17°C.’
Into the weekend, a shift in weather patterns is about to switch the wind direction again and bring us something warmer.
The spokesperson continued: ‘Staying fine and bright Saturday before turning increasingly cloudy and breezy into Sunday and Monday but temperatures warming.’
By Sunday, a nice plume of hot air from the Mediterranean will mean temperatures will increase to 20°C and will feel lovely.
However, a frontal system will bring cloud and some outbreaks of rain, especially towards the north and west of the UK although very little rain is likely in the south east of England.
So as is typical with autumn, you never really know what the weather might have in store.
