Temperatures are set to drop to as low as 3C with the weekend set to see wintry conditions.
The Met Office has said that while the temperature will be cooler, most places will stay dry with some sunny spells.
There is set to be a scattering of showers across northwestern parts, most frequent across Scotland. However, the majority of the country will see winds.
It comes after rainfall has caused widespread flooding across England, with 66 flood warnings and 121 flood alerts in place.

Met Office Meteorologist Alex Deakin said: “The weekend does look a lot drier. It’ll be a chilly start to the weekend as well but we could see more wet weather by Sunday night.
“All the heavy rain this week has been caused by an area of low pressure scooting away during Friday and then opening the door to winds coming down from the north bringing with it arctic air so It will feel chilly first thing on Saturday morning.
“That cold air gets cut off by a weak weather front that will bring some wet weather to north west Scotland but in the south we have an area of high pressure and that will bring much of the south as a dry day on Saturday.
“We are going to start pretty chilly on Saturday with pockets of frost in rural parts of the south and certainly frost likely across norther England and Scotland plus Northern Ireland.”

Looking ahead to next week, the weather is expected to remain unsettled across the UK. A wet and windy system is forecast to move northeastwards on Sunday and Monday, primarily affecting England and Wales.
Tuesday should see conditions gradually improving from the west, though rain and strong winds may linger in the northeast for a time.
By midweek, most areas should experience dry weather with some sunshine, albeit with temperatures below average for the season.
The Met Office outlook suggests the following week could bring more changeable conditions, with occasional spells of rain and potentially strong winds interspersed with drier periods. Temperatures are likely to remain close to or slightly below normal.
