The weather in the North East looks more settled for the rest of the working week following Wednesday's blustery showers.
The Met Office predicts plenty of sunny spells on Thursday, with winds dropping down and little chance of rain across the region. Friday will be similarly dry and bright, with temperatures forecast to hit highs of 10C - ideal walking weather to appreciate the beautiful colours of autumn in their final weeks.
Anyone wanting to make the most of the sunshine should head outdoors on Thursday and Friday, as the weekend is forecast to be a cloudier affair with occasional showers. Here's the hourly breakdown of what the weather will look like in Newcastle over the next two days.
