Autumn will begin with a wave of rain and thunderstorms washing over the UK, say forecasters.
Weather maps from WXCharts show a band of rain arriving from across the Atlantic in time for this weekend, with western areas of the British Isles seeing heavy showers from the early hours of Saturday morning (September 4).
This will then be followed by a lengthy period of wet, windy and stormy weather, according to the Met Office, who predict rainfall to stay around longer than it has recently.
