Pictures from a cold Easter Monday in South Shields as temperatures drop

It was certainly a chilly Easter Monday this year – but the cold weather and bracing winds did not stop some of you heading out to enjoy the fresh air at South Shields seafront and in the park.

The mini-heatwave leading up to Easter, which saw high temperatures of 18°C at the start of last week, seems like a distant memory as we woke up to icy temperatures and, in other parts of the North East, snow!

But it was big coat weather on Monday, April 5 – and it seems like there’s more cold weather in store for the rest of this week, according to the latest Met Office forecast.

See if our photographer Kevin Brady caught you on camera in one of today’s pictures.
