Today’s downpours are in stark contrast to the continued hot weather enjoyed only 12 months ago and it doesn’t look set to change.
The North East remains subject to a Met Office yellow weather warning – meaning there is a “small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded” – throughout both Wednesday and Thursday.
