Fed up of being drowned in a rain shower? Well, get set for the snow.

Met Office forecasters are predicting snow or sleet showers will hit the county over the weekend.

It will be much colder, with Saturday feeling raw across Kent.

To add to the discomfort, gale force northerly winds will also strike.

A weather warning has been issued, with strong winds expected from 9pm on Friday to 3pm on Saturday.

A Met Office spokesman said: "A swathe of gale force north to northwesterly winds, accompanied by a band of rain and snow, will move south across much of central and southern Britain on Friday night and Saturday."

Gusts of up to 50-60mph are expected, with some exposed coastal areas possibly facing winds of 60-70mph.

Some of the snow is expected to settle even at low levels, but this will only be temporary. The worst-affected areas are predicted to see a few centimetres.

Monday is set to be drier, with early frost and possible wintry showers.
