After a stormy and unsettled beginning to October, the North East is set for a pair of cool, dry and crisp days to start the week, according to the Met Office.
Last week saw weather warnings and heavy rain - but there's no chance of that on Monday or Tuesday according to the forecasters. Instead, the calm, dry weather we've seen this weekend at events from Newcastle United 's thrashing of Brentford to the Houghton Feast is set to continue.
However, Monday morning will feel brisker than we've become used to this summer - with a single-figure temperature of 8 degrees to start the day. UV and pollution levels will be low.
