Autumn has arrived in Wales this week bringing heavy rain, strong to gale force winds, blustery showers and some sunshine.
It has also turned noticeably cooler with north-westerly winds bringing colder air down from the Arctic.
In fact tonight is going to be the coldest night of the week with some ground frost, especially in the countryside, on sandy soils and in rural areas with temperatures falling close to freezing in a few locations.
Over the weekend, the weather is set to change again.
Saturday will start dry and bright with some sunshine but gradually cloud over with a few spots of light rain in the north and west.Ìý
The south and east and Mid Wales should stay mostly dry with top temperaturesÌý between 14 to 16 Celsius with a light to moderate west to south-westerly breeze.
On Saturday night the rain will spread across the country with some moderate bursts but much milder with temperatures around 8 to 12 Celsius.
Sunday will be rather cloudy with some rain and heavy showers but some drier interludes too.
It may even brighten-up on the north coast with some sunshine and temperatures around16 to 18 Celsius.
Anne Riggs in Haycastle sent me this pic of Newgale beach looking bright and sunny earlier today:
The wind will be light to moderate west to south-westerly and feel fresh on exposed coasts and hills.
Next week is best described as mixed - with some rain and showers at times but also some sunshine and becoming warmer too.
