It won’t be quite as warm and sunny across the North East on Tuesday as we’ve come to expect in recent days.

Forecasters predict a slightly more changeable day today with much more cloud cover and some spells of light rain possible.

Temperatures will reach highs of about 20C, the Met Office has said, with those feels like temperatures just slightly lower.

The best is to come in the early afternoon with the sun breaking through some of the cloud cover and temperatures peaking by 3pm to 4pm.

Overnight cloud will continue with more possibilities of rain into the night before a cloudy and damp start tomorrow.

8am – 13C, sunny intervals, feels like 11C
