The Met Office has forecast a dry Sunday for the North East, with sunny spells becoming more prolonged as the day progresses. While temperatures have eased after the third heatwave of the year, a rise is expected next week following a milder weekend.
Sunday's Weather Overview
Sunday will be dry with patchy cloud, especially during the morning, but sunny intervals will develop and become longer later. Highest temperatures will be inland, while coastal areas will be breezier and cooler. UV levels will reach a high of seven, prompting advice to seek shade at midday, cover up, and apply sunscreen. The pollen forecast is also high.
Outlook for Next Week
Looking ahead, the Met Office states: "Largely dry and cloudy, but also some bright spells will occur. Predominantly dry, but with a chance of a little light rain Wednesday. Temperatures generally average or slightly above." This indicates a warming trend after the cooler weekend.
