Started off nice and mild, then about 1:pm (ish) a very intense rainfall, the temperature then dropped dramatically. Was like stepping out of a mild Spring day into a cold wintry blast in a matter of hours.

Wonder if today has now put an end to what's been a pretty good Summer! And are todays dramatic change in weather indicative of whats to come over the next few months!

Yes very different feel to things and rather refreshing. 12C (54F) and sunny here with a fresh NNW'ly breeze

[Tim B]

Yes a very different feel to things today, Feels a lot like autmn but in a good way, Nice and sunny with cloudless skys and a very fresh feel.

As I have said in anouther thread, It is amazing the transition from 38 degrees celcius to autmn and snowfalls on high levels all in the space of 6 weeks.

But as WF also said this does not mean we are in for a really cold snowy winter as of right now, This is the way autmn is one day can be cold and sunny wheras the next can be very warm and sunny and one day can be heavy rain with floodings and tornadoes waterspouts etc etc, Whereas the next day can be like today, Sunny and dry.

That is the typical autmn pattern.

wow what a differance...12c here at the mo..im expecting a low of 2 tonight as the local weather says.wind from the north a 8mph

[du_snow]

This cool snap has no relation to this Winter....if you believe the chaos theroy that is!

I expect a low of possibly 0c here tonight, and a ground frost is likely!!!

[waverider uk]

Been cool today only 13°C with showers

Local BBC forcast talk of an air frost tonight inland

[Andy Bown]

A sunny day here today but the suns gone down already

Therefore Autumn is here.

Max today of just 14c but very pleasant nonetheless.

Now it's already dropped to single figures and frost expected by morning.

[highcliffe2]

A min of 6.6c last night. Has been a cool day which I had anticipated with a refreshingly nice breeze. There have been some good cloud formations today and at one point I thought a shower may be likely, but I'm now left with a clear evening and temperatures are tumbling, now 10.3c. Would be nice to see a slight ground frost tomorrow morning

[davew]

Temps reached as low as -3C in Redhill. Ground mins were even lower with -6C in a number of places eg
