As we fast approach the end of 2024, the New Year period will see many across Sunderland heading out and about as they get involved in various celebrations.

The Met Office’s forecast gives an insight into what we can expect weather-wise.

Forecasters are expecting the weather to be dry here in the North East, with temperatures averaging around 5°C.

The Met Office’s long-range forecast that covers the New Year period states: “Temperatures will start around average but will become a little below average for most, especially in the north, though milder interludes are still possible in the south.

“While there is moderate to high confidence in this trend, confidence is low for the exact positioning of any systems, which will be crucial in determining which areas see rain or snow.”
