WET and windy weather is forecast across Essex next week, putting an end to reportedly the driest September on record for more than a century.
Temperatures will drop steadily to around 14 degrees celsius during the early part of next week with any sunny intervals broken up by showers, and blustery winds, according to predictions from the MET office.
The strong winds are expected to give a distinctly cold feel as we head further into October - a big change from the mild temperatures in Autumn so far.
This September is set to go down as the driest since records began over a century ago, in 1910, with meteorologists saying the UK as a whole saw less than an inch of rain.
