Weather watchers across the North East got drenched this morning as heavy rain and wild wind swept across the area - but, according to the Met Office, we're about to get warmer temperatures at last.

The rest of Friday will be drier and brighter for most, with overnight temperatures at a minimum of 2°C.- practically tropical compared to some recent overnight chills.
