The dry spell in England is set to be followed by thunderstorms and wet weather on Monday and Tuesday.
The Met Office has issued a series of thunderstorm warnings in the UK, starting with Northern Ireland and Scotland on Sunday, and then expanding into England and Wales on Monday and Tuesday
"While some places stay dry, thunderstorms are likely to develop during Monday, bringing locally heavy rain and possible disruption," the Met Office warning for Monday states. Darlington, Durham, Gateshead, Hartlepool, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside, Stockton and Sunderland are all subject to the warning, as is much of England.
