It's the final weekend of November and soon the temperatures will start dropping further as winter gets underway.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain in parts of Wales, England and Scotland on Saturday (November 26). Greater Manchester isn't within the remit, but heavy rain is still forecast for every borough on Saturday.
Cardiff, Swansea and Carmarthen in Wales, and Plymouth, Southampton and St Austell in England are among areas that could be affected by the yellow weather alert. The weather warnings come as train drivers in 11 companies, belonging to the Aslef union, will strike in a long-running dispute over pay.
