Make sure to pack an umbrella on your travels this week as the North East looks set for seven days of strong winds and rainy spells.
According to leading meteorologists at the Met Office, the region will experience mild conditions but rainy spells and strong winds are likely to temper this during a wet week (between November 7-13).
Following a month of above-average temperatures in October, November began in a less settled tone with flooding in some parts of the North East leading to some disruption.
