Sunderland and the wider North East have been pelted with rain over the last couple of days and, according to the latest forecast from the Met Office, there’s more of it on the way.

Predictions for Sunderland’s weather on Tuesday, July 30, say the day will bring heavy rain throughout the morning, and later on tonight, with some sunny intervals inbetween.

Temperatures in the city will stay mild at around 17°C and 18°C – though that’s a big step down from the scorching weather of the last week.

A Yellow warning for thunderstorms has been issued for parts of Scotland and England on Wednesday.

And while Sunderland will face more showers as they week goes on, it looks like we’re set to escape the worst so far.
