Yahoo News London temperatures to drop to 5C in icy blast according to latest weather forecast
We're in for a brisk start to October as temperatures plummet to 5C. As the mercury continues to trail off after a warm few weeks, we can expect these particularly cool temperatures on October 8.
WXCharts weather forecast map shows this cold bite will last throughout the day in London, rising to just 9C in the late afternoon.
Temperatures are then set to remain in single figures or around the 10-11C mark for the remainder for the week as the autumn breeze kicks into full force.
Until then the weather is expected to bring around average or slightly warmer temperatures. Tomorrow (Sunday, September 29) we can expect highs of 16C and cloudy skies according to the Met Office.
Heavy rain is then set to plague Monday with gusty 34mph winds before overcast conditions stick around on Tuesday and Wednesday. We can then expect a sunnier end to next week. Throughout this time the mercury should hover between 16C and 17C.
