North East England

Headline:

Warm but rather cloudy, with the odd spot of rain.

This Evening and Tonight:

Becoming rather cloudy during the evening, which might lead to the odd spot of rain or drizzle over the western hills later in the night. Warmer than the previous night and feeling humid too. Minimum temperature 15 °C.

Monday:

Becoming increasingly cloudy through the day, with patches of light rain moving in from the west. Rain possibly turning more showery in the evening. Warm and humid conditions throughout. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

A chance of early showers or thunderstorms clearing east on Tuesday but mostly dry and sunny otherwise. Widely very warm, including at night. Chance of thundery showers developing later Thursday.

Fairly changeable conditions at first with periods of rain and showers, especially in the west, and there could be some thundery outbreaks at times. There will likely be some drier and brighter spells though. Into July changeable conditions are likely to continue as Atlantic lows move in from the west, but with transient periods of high pressure. This will lead to spells of rain and cloud interspersed with more settled periods. Temperatures remain widely above average, and the far southeast may retain some of the hot temperatures at first, but likely cooler than the preceding few days.

High pressure patterns are looking slightly more likely than low pressure patterns during this period, meaning a greater chance of settled and drier than average conditions. There is still a chance of some changeable or more unsettled conditions developing at times, with a risk of some heavy and thundery showers. Temperatures are likely to be above normal, with a greater than normal chance of hot conditions developing at times.
