Though the mercury is unlikely to pass the mid-20s, a warm and sunny Sunday will keep smiles on faces across the North East.
According to the Met Office's official forecast for Newcastle, the temperature will mostly range between 17 and 23°C and rain looks unlikely. However we could see highs of 31°C.
A high UV index means sun cream will be a must - while pollen and pollution will both be medium. Sunrise will be at 5.38am for any early-risers, while sunset is due to be around 8.43pm.

Met Office forecasters said: "Early coastal cloud burning away then dry with sunny spells. Isolated heavy and thundery showers possible during the afternoon. Hot inland, but cooler on the coast. Maximum temperature 31 °C."
This comes as the weather experts continue to warn of thunderstorms through the coming week - which could really dampen the summer holiday spirit in our area. A weather warning is in place highlighting that thunderstorms could move down from northern Scotland, starting midway through Sunday.
