Britain is set for a chilly weekend as cold air sweeps in from the Artic seeing temperatures fall to a frosty 7C (44.6F), the Met Office reports.
It may be time for Brits to grab their winter coats, as the forecaster has predicted the UK is set for an Artic blast as cold conditions continue into the weekend.
Today will be the wettest day of the entire weekend, especially in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, with parts set to be hit up to 13.4mm of rain according to Netweather.tv.
The rain will be pushed into areas in northern England throughout the afternoon with showers and sunny spells expected elsewhere.
Sunday morning is also set to kick off with a chilly start with temperatures dropping to as low as 2C (36.5F) to 6C (42.8F) in rural areas of Scotland.

Frost is also expected to descend on areas in northern England, northern Ireland and Wales, the Met Office reports.
Temperatures in southern England are forecast to be between 7(44.6F) to 10C (50F) that day, considerably lower than the October average of around 15C (59F).
Scotland will also be colder than usual, with temperatures of around 5 (41F) to 6C (42.8F), around half of what is expected or this time of year, the forecaster added
Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said: For everyone were going to be feeling rather cold.
Over the last day or so we have drawn in quite a bit of cold air from the Arctic and that is sort of staying with us right throughout the weekend, so most of us will need a little bit of a coat on around at times.
However it isnt all just a chill breeze, as Mr Vautrey explained parts of Scotland could expect to see highs of around 7(44.6F) to 8C (46.4F).
Pars of northern England and northern Ireland may also see highs of 12C (53.6), while southern England are forecast to enjoy the warmest temperatures of up to 16C (60.8), he added.
Mr Vautrey continued: For everyone, whilst it will be drier than Saturday, it is certainly going to be feeling quite, quite cold out there spots sunshine around at times.

The best of the brightness is going to be further towards the east - eastern Scotland, eastern England, with cloud generally building from the west as we head throughout the day and there is the potential that we do start to see a little bit more rain arrive for Northern Ireland into the evening period, and that sort of heralds return to slightly more unsettled conditions as we head into the start of the new week.
It comes as several sightings of the breathtaking aurora borealis stunned Brits this week as the natural phenomenon lit up the dark night sky.
However unfortunately we cant expect a repeat sighting of the beautiful lights this weekend due to Friday nights cloudy skies, according to the forecaster.
Also known as aurora borealis, it was flagged by the Met Office as potentially being visible as far south as London on Thursday, as a severe geomagnetic storm slams into Earth.
Pictures shared on social media tonight show large swathes of the country draped in a spectacular light display. The lights were spotted dancing across Britains skies as far south as West Sussex and Devon.
Amazing shades of green and purple were captured in the skies above the UK including in Tyne and Wear, Cumbria, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Buckinghamshire and Northampshire.
Aurora sightings are likely across Scotland and Northern Ireland, perhaps across northern England, the Met Office said earlier last Thursday.
[There is] a slight chance of sightings across parts of the Midlands or the south of England where skies are clear.
Taking to Twitter, the Met Office also said: Look north in the coming nights and you may spot the Northern Lights

A coronal mass ejection from the sun is earth bound and whilst theres some uncertainty on its arrival time, sightings of the aurora are likely in northern areas with a slight chance in the south too.
Aurora displays occur when charged particles collide with gases in the Earths atmosphere around the magnetic poles.
As they collide, light is emitted at various wavelengths, creating colourful displays in the sky.
In the northern hemisphere, most of this activity takes place within a band known as the aurora oval, covering latitudes between 60 and 75 degrees.
When activity is strong, this expands to cover a greater area - which explains why displays can be occasionally seen as far south as the UK.
