North East weather forecast from Met Office says we're in for a cold start on Monday November 21

The start to the week is set to be cold according to the forecast from the Met Office.

Though it's expected to be sunny on Monday morning between 9 and 10am, temperatures will be between 2 and 3°C. It will warm up for the afternoon, though the sun will give way to cloud.

It'll remain dry between until 5pm, which will be a relief to anyone who is planning to watch the England vs Iran match at a world cup fan zone. Though we'd recommend sticking on a hoodie under your England (or Iran) top and wrapping up with a scarf and a hat!
