Temperatures will drop to 12°C this week, signaling the arrival of coat season.

This week, the UK has been experiencing some tumultuous weather, with storm clouds rolling in and bringing in the autumn season. As a result, temperatures have been steadily dropping, setting the stage for a chilly weekend ahead. The Environment Agency issued flood warnings for 13 areas in England, as intense rainfall caused some residents to wade through knee-deep water and cars to become partially submerged.

Fortunately, the skies have temporarily cleared up after yesterday's torrential downpour, which saw some areas receiving a staggering 120mm of rain in just one day. While London won't see much rain today, there is a chance for some light showers in other parts of the region. Tuesday is expected to bring calmer weather, although a few scattered showers may still be possible.

According to the Met Office, heavy rain in certain areas could potentially cause disruptions, with spray and flooding making for difficult driving conditions. The sudden and heavy rainfall has caused many streets in the UK to become flooded, adding to the already dreary weather.

Temperatures aren't expected to climb very high today, with the capital only reaching a high of 18°C and dropping to a chilly 12°C at night. In Manchester, temperatures will hover around 15°C during the day, but plummet to 9°C in the evening. While much of the UK will see a break from rainfall today, a large system is set to move across the British Isles starting on Wednesday, bringing more rain with it.

But don't fret - the clouds will clear up just in time for Saturday, which is expected to be a cold but sunny day with lows of 4°C. So make sure to grab a jacket before heading out! Showers are predicted to continue throughout the week, but there will be a brief break on Tuesday, providing a welcome reprieve from the wet weather we've witnessed so far.

Over the weekend, Storm Boris made its grand entrance, causing some residents in Stoke-on-Trent to evacuate their homes. Describing the chaotic scene, one witness said they heard a "massive bang", and shortly after, a car stopped outside their house to announce that the roof was on fire. About four homes, including theirs, were evacuated, and they all sought refuge in a neighbor's house.
