The North East has been treated to some glorious summer sunshine over the past few days - but soak it up while you can, as it's all set to change over the weekend according to the latest forecast.
The Met Office has announced that unsettled conditions are on the way for the UK, meaning we can kiss goodbye to the June heatwave that has swept across the country this week. The dry and sunny conditions could reach a peak of as high as 28C on Friday, June 16, before giving way to downpours and stormy weather as we head into Saturday and Sunday.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Steven Keates said: "Over the coming days we'll be transitioning to a more unsettled regime for the UK, though temperatures will remain high and it'll feel very humid for many. Heavy showers and thunderstorms are likely to become more frequent through the weekend, with the potential for associated hail, lightning and some gusty winds."
