Many regions were expected to feel the chill, with WX Charts anticipating temperatures dropping as low as -4C in some areas, including much of northern England. Temperatures were expected to hover just above freezing in the south, at around 1C.
The chilling forecast comes as September ends with three yellow warning issued across the UK - including part of the Midlands. The Met Office said there would be "persistent" and "at times heavy" rainfall across the region, with 20-40mm expected. Some spots could see up to 60mm fall throughout the day.
The alert, which covers Shropshire, Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, along with parts of Derbyshire, the North West, Wales and Yorkshire, was expected to remain in place until 8pm today (Monday, September 30).
