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.

While Wednesday morning’s rain is expected to ease during the afternoon, repeated showers are likely to return between 6pm-11pm.

Thundery showers are also forecast on Thursday afternoon before conditions supposedly begin to ease after 6pm.

Friday is thankfully expected to be dry – albeit dull – with the sun expected to make a belated return on Saturday as temperatures reach a high of 17 degrees Celsius.
