Leaves will be swept of the trees as gales sweep in from the West, meaning that winter will start in earnest, especially in Northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
They will bear the brunt of the gales, which in some places will see winds gusting at about 65mph for much of today.
Meteorologists said it was unlikely that any region would escape the gloom.
And the longer term forecast fails to lift the dark skies, with storms expected towards the end of the week as well.
Rachel Vince, forecaster at MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "There is a deep low moving in from the north west bringing very strong and gusty winds across the whole of the UK."
What has brought the warm autumn weather to the UK?
Over the next few days we are expecting a spell of very warm weather for this time of year across much of England and Wales and even parts of Scotland too. The reason why we are seeing this unseasonable warm spell is due to an area of high pressure which has developed across much of central Europe, centred on Germany and Poland.
This draws up very warm air from a long way south, from parts of France and Spain. That comes across a dry continent removing most of the moisture out of the air. As a result we see very little in the way of cloud with blue skies and plenty of sunshine. As a result the sunshine warms the ground and the ground warms the air so we see high temperatures for this time of the year.
