An autumnal mix of wind and rain is on the cards for the North East over the next few days.
If you're heading out, then it will be worth bringing a coat and umbrella, as the Met Office is predicting that there will be showers and gusty winds on Thursday and Friday. However, it's not all bad, as there will be some sunny spells that look set to bring a bit of brightness amidst the changeable weather.
On Thursday morning, there will be some sunshine and clouds with highs of 15°C before the afternoon turns cloudy and overcast with some evening rain. There will also be some strong winds with gusts as high as 29 mph.
Friday's weather will also be a mixed bag, with heavy rain in the morning giving way to some sunshine and showers in the afternoon, with highs of 14°C and wind gusts reaching 29mph.
Speaking in the Met Office 10 Day Trend, Alex Deakin said: “The pressure pattern for the next few days will be dominated by low pressure to the north and high pressure to the south. Plenty of isobars are on the charts, meaning it’s going to stay pretty blustery.
"At times we’ll see these weather fronts drifting through, bringing bands of showery rain across the country. Up until Saturday, we’re going to see a mixture of sunshine and showers with strong, blustery westerly winds.
