A weather alert has been issued as heavy rain and wind threaten travel problems for millions of Britons returning home from a weekend break.
The Met Office has issued a sweeping yellow weather alert for Bank Holiday Monday, predicting significant surface water on roads and gusts of up to 40mph (64kph).
Meanwhile, overnight temperatures will plummet to freezing point in some areas, with the first frost of the summer arriving in the north this morning.
Tomorrow's weather warning relates to parts of Wales, as well as London, the South East, East and South West of England, although most of the UK will see some rain.
Winds of up to 40mph are expected in some areas Temperatures will struggle to get above 17C (62.6F) - well below average for August.
Scotland, where it is not a bank holiday, will enjoy the best of the weather tomorrow.
The Met Office said: "Heavy rain is expected to affect many southern areas of Britain at times during Bank Holiday Monday, with strong winds a possible additional factor close to southern coasts.
"The public should be aware that there may be some impacts to holiday traffic and other outdoor activities.
The first frost of the summer is expected to arrive in the north on Sunday "A complex area of low pressure looks like bringing an unpleasant day's weather to much of the south on Monday.
"Rainfall amounts look like exceeding 20mm quite widely, while a few places might see around 40mm, so there will be a lot of surface water and spray on roads.
"The spray will probably be made worse by strong winds across some southern areas; gusts to around 40mph may occur at some coastal locations although this will depend on the exact track of the low pressure."
More than five million people in the UK are planning an overnight holiday trip this weekend, VisitEngland said.
Around one million people are expected to be drawn to Notting Hill Carnival, one of Europe's biggest street carnival events, today and tomorrow.
Despite a cold start, Sunday's weather will be largely fine across the UK with spells of sunshine and highs of 18C (64.4F).
