The cold season has well and truly kicked in with people starting to wrap up in as many jumpers and scarves as they head outside - though this isn't really any surprise.
And it's only set to get colder with forecasters issuing a warning about the upcoming 'wet and windy conditions'.
Talking about the latest weather, the Met Office has said that whilst some areas of the UK will see sunny spells, much of Scotland, in particular the west, will see wind and rain showers throughout the week.

They said that after a windy start, the rain is set to gradually become more "persistent" with Wednesday signalling "the start of a shift in weather for many."
At the end of the working week, Friday is still expected to be windy with the highest gusts most likely in exposed coastal areas in the north.
Speaking in the Met Office Week Ahead forecast, Meteorologist and Presenter Aidan McGivern said: “There will be outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, for western Scotland and Northern Ireland pushing into northern and western England as well as Wales. The rain tends to fizzle into showers further south and it’ll stay largely dry in the southeast through Wednesday with some sunny spells.
“Two areas of low-pressure and an active jet stream is waiting in the wings. With all these different features interacting with each other there will be some uncertainty in terms of the details for later this week.
“The overall theme of the forecast is pretty evident, with low pressure towards the northwest of the UK at the end of this week with some wet and windy weather and quite a number of showers.”
Friday is expected to be windy, with the highest gusts most likely in exposed coastal areas in the north.
"It’ll be a blustery day for all on Friday and even though there’s some uncertainties about the position of the low pressure, what’s most likely is low-pressure to the north, a brisk westerly airflow and a number of showers.”
