North East weather forecast following a warm August Bank Holiday weekend
Following a sunny Bank Holiday weekend, will we see more of the same this week in the North East?
The August Bank Holiday weekend brought sunny spells and warm temperatures to the North East.
Many will be hoping that the good weather sticks around, especially with it being the last week of the six-week school holidays.
According to Met Office forecasters, the region will continue to see sunny spells but there could also be rain and thundery showers.
The Met Office website states: “Sunny spells and showers through this period.
“Showers will occasionally be heavy, with the odd rumble of thunder, mainly Thursday and Friday. Perhaps drier for some Saturday.
“Temperatures near normal.”
This is what you can expect from the North East weather this week:
Tuesday, August 26
Tuesday is expected to start with some rainy spells but forecasters do see this clearing up as we head into the afternoon.
Sunny weather is predicted, although there could be some cloud covering before we see clear skies this evening.
According to the Met Office, the North East will experience daily highs of 25°C.
Wednesday, August 27
Wednesday is expected to start off bright, with the odd cloudy spell as we head throughout the morning.
