It's official – Friday September 22 marks the first day of Autumn and with all hopes of an Indian summer pretty much gone out the window, it's time to settle in for the season ahead.

While today is expected to be mostly dry with top temperatures of 18 degrees, the same can not be said for the rest of the week.

Tomorrow will be cloudy and misty with widespread rain and drizzle affecting most areas. Slightly cooler with top temperatures of 14 to 17 degrees.

The outlook remains unsettled for the rest of the week scattered showers and short sunny spells.

Early predictions suggest the weekend will be wet and windy, though some sunny spells are expected on Sunday.

Bye-bye summer, see you next year.
