Heavy rain and possible weather warnings for North East, Met Office warns
Rain and below-average temperatures have been forecast for the region
by Adam Foster · ChronicleLiveHeavy rain could hit parts of the North East which could result in weather warnings later in the week, the Met Office has warned.
Forecasters have warned periods of heavy rain may hit parts of north-east England later on Tuesday through to Wednesday and weather warnings are possible until mid-week as rain falls on already wet ground.
In an online forecast, Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said Tuesday looks set to be “a mix of sunshine and showers, but probably more showers”.
He said: “There is an area of low pressure just generating the showers and pushing northwards.
“Also there is this band of thick cloud sitting over northern England, Northern Ireland and southern Scotland for much of the day with outbreaks of rain. Northern England should brighten up but then showers will move in here too.
“Not quite as damp over northern Scotland as it has been through Monday but still staying pretty grey here with those winds coming down from the north, that is going to bring a chill.”
The Met Office's overall forecast for the North East does not bode well, with rain forecast for much of today and tomorrow, with a high of 14 degrees throughout today, with it dropping to 11 degrees for tomorrow. The Met Office have warned that it will feel colder due to the wind.
Temperatures are also set to dip in the north from Wednesday, with all areas experiencing below-average temperatures from Thursday.
