North East hour-by-hour weather forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday according to the Met Office

The North East has seen a few wet and windy days recently and that could be set to continue according to the Met Office.

While Tuesday will be mostly dry with sunny spells, Wednesday will be much more breezy with rain spreading south-eastwards. As we head further into the week the region could get a dose of heavy rain while Friday will be windy with gales over the hills.

Wednesday signals the start of a shift in the weather for many. Speaking in the Met Office Week Ahead forecast, Meteorologist and Presenter Aidan McGivern said: "There will be outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, for western Scotland and Northern Ireland pushing into northern and western England as well as Wales. The rain tends to fizzle into showers further south and it’ll stay largely dry in the southeast through Wednesday with some sunny spells."
