North East England

Headline:

Plenty of sunny spells developing.

Today:

Patchy low cloud at first, but this will soon burn back to the coast during the morning, leaving plenty of sunshine for the rest of the day. Breezy northeasterly winds. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Tonight:

Areas of low cloud will move westwards from the coast overnight with perhaps some isolated light drizzle, but most areas likely remaining dry. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Tuesday:

Another cloudy start, but similar to Monday cloud will burn back towards the coast to leave plenty of sunny spells for the rest of the day. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Largely dry through this period, with cloud moving inland overnight then burning back to the coast by day to give sunny spells. Temperatures around or a little above average.

A change in weather pattern is likely by the start of this period, with the preceding dry and sunny weather breaking down into a more unsettled spell. Some heavy and thundery showers are likely, particularly across the south of the UK. Into the following week, a short spell of more settled weather is likely at first, before more changeable conditions return later. This brings showers or longer spells of rain at times, perhaps heavy and thundery in places. Temperatures are likely to be above normal.

Changeable weather patterns are expected during this period. Showers or some longer spells of rain are likely at times, perhaps heavy and thundery. Some drier and brighter interludes are also possible, especially in the south and southeast. Temperatures are likely to be above normal with some hot spells possible.
