The North East may feel as though it's gone back to winter this week as a cold snap brings wintry showers and widespread frost to the region.
The Met Office has warned of a cold week ahead, caused by a low-pressure system moving eastward away from the UK on Monday to make way for cold Arctic air to spread south from Scotland across the rest of the country by early Tuesday. This will lead to an unsettled final week of April, with the North East set for a mixed bag of sunshine and showers in the coming days.
Temperatures will drop into the minuses overnight and areas of higher ground will particularly feel the chill, according to meteorologists. But luckily things are set to spring back to milder conditions by the weekend, so don't go packing away those t-shirts and shorts just yet.
