Mini heatwave forecast for the North East this week as Met Office predicts another warm spell

Tyne and Wear is expected to see some of the warmest temperatures we have seen since the start of the year with the Met Office predicting conditions to head upwards of 20°C.

This is what the weather service is predicting for the region through this week and into the weekend as a mini heatwave is predicted to hit the UK.

Kicking off the week after the bank holiday weekend, Tuesday, May 27 saw mixed conditions with both sunny and rainy spells throughout the day with temperatures peaking at 15°C across the region.

Wednesday, May 28 will see temperatures rise thanks to cloudy overnight conditions which will make way for a sunny, bright morning. Minimal wind with these bright spells will create a perfect condition for temperatures to rise throughout the day, peaking at around 17°C for the majority of the afternoon.

However, this will just be the start of the rising temperatures with conditions running close to 20°C on Thursday. This will combine with a very wet morning, clearing by lunchtime when overcast skies will return, bringing minimal wind and highs of around 19°C and very high levels of humidity.

Overcast conditions will continue into Friday with similar temperatures as we edge closer to the weekend.
