After two days of grey and wet weather, many of us will be looking forward to the return of the sun later this week.
The Met Office Yellow Weather Warning for thunderstorms that was in place for the North East on Monday and Tuesday will be lifted on Wednesday to make way for a day of sunshine. Anyone heading for a day out during the school holidays can expect sun and clouds throughout the day and mild temperatures with highs of 17°C.
Thursday will be a cloudy day but will remain largely dry with some light rain in the late afternoon. It will also be warmer than the start of the week with temperatures of around 20°C.
