Today, September 29th is Michaelmas Day - traditionally the last day of the harvest season.
Around this time of year if the weather is fine and warm, people often talk about an 'Indian summer' or in Welsh 'haf bach mihangel'. Ìý
The weather has been quiet and settled recently thanks to a persistent area of high pressure but the high is going to move away over the Atlantic ocean over the next few days.
That will allow a weak cold front to move South across Britain; it won't bring much if any rain but it will introduce colder and clearer air from the Arctic.
So Friday morning will start off chilly with a ground frost in places, so you might want to protect some of your plants and veg.
Beyond that, the weather looks like turning more unsettled as we head into the weekend with stronger winds and the chance of a little rain.
Mind you, we've had a good run of dry weather and at least a change in the weather gives forecasters like myself, something to talk about!Ìý :)
I'm off filming some walks for the rest of this week for the new Weatherman Walking series, so will update you on those soon. First stop - Pen y Fan.
