What is the long-term forecast for Sunderland?

Looking further ahead into next week, “The unsettled weather established through the end of the previous week will still be in place on Sunday, bringing a mixture of sunshine and heavy, blustery showers across the UK,” according to the Met Office.

“More organised bands of rain will spread east at times, accompanied by stronger winds or gales.

“Daytime temperatures will be around normal for the time of year and overnight frosts largely kept at bay.

“This theme is likely to continue through much of the period; with heaviest rainfall and strongest winds expected in western areas, perhaps gales at times.

“Temperatures are expected to remain around normal, with some overnight frosts possible where winds fall light. Beyond mid-November there is low confidence, but probably remaining unsettled at first but an increased chance of quieter spells developing by this point.”
