Anyone hoping for a sunny Sunday to round off their weekend looks set to be disappointed as heavy rain has been forecast for the North East.
The Met Office has said that Sunday morning will see heavy downpours from around 9am until 11am before turning cloudy for rest of the day. However, it will still be a warm day with temperatures reaching 19°C in Newcastle.
Looking ahead to Monday, the day will get off to a wet start with heavy rain in the morning from around 7am. But the afternoon will bring a mix of sunshine and cloud with highs of 19°C.
