The summer appears to be over if recent overnight temperatures are anything to go by.
Commuters have woken up to temperatures of 7C in recent days, and it is not likely to get much higher over the next few days in Essex, according to the latest Met Office forecast.
They are likely to slump still further, according to predictions, going no higher than 8C on Saturday and Sunday.
Before that, overhead cloud on Thursday and Friday will see them reach a more respectable 12C.
Daytime temperatures will be closer to the average for this time of year, settling at around 20C with bright sunny spells for the remainder of the week, with the exception of Friday, when we could see some showers.
