THE temperature is really starting to drop as we enter October - let's see what the weather has in store for us this weekend.
The forecast is looking pretty unsettled for the first weekend of October with plenty of cloud and a day of drizzle on Saturday.
Although the weather isn't looking that great there are a lot of events taking place this weekend to keep your spirits up.

In today's outlook, Friday, October 1, the cloud will remain thick throughout most of the day though the sun will poke through by the late afternoon and early evening leaving a mild and clear night.
On Saturday however, we can expect plenty of rain as the coast gets battered by stormy weather for most of the day - top temperatures will be around 16c.
The outlook for Sunday is looking much better, with bouts of light rain and glimpses of sun through most of the day - so as long as you pack your wellies and a raincoat, a weekend adventure isn't out of reach.
