The UK had its hottest summer on record but there is no doubt that the start of meteorological autumn has brought a big change.

Whilst meteorological autumn begins every year on the same date - 1 September - the start of astronomical autumn varies with the date of the equinox.

The first of September marks the beginning of autumn in the meteorological world as well as the start of the annual 'storm season'.

Vietnam's meteorological centre says the typhoon could trigger flash floods and landslides, and 400 communes across six provinces have been put on alert.

Climate change is causing weather to become harsher, according to research from Spain's state meteorological agency.
