North East weather forecast for the week ahead after a wet end to the Bank Holiday

Despite music festivals and events across the UK, the Bank Holiday weather hasn't lived up to its billing.

Although the North East enjoyed a dose of sunshine on Saturday, grey skies and rainy spells were frequent across Sunday.

And unfortunately, it looks like this miserable weather will continue on Monday and Tuesday although later in the week things may just turn around.

If you have plans for the Bank Holiday Monday, it's probably best to stay indoors as the murky weather could see patchy light rain or drizzle across much of the region.

Tuesday isn't much better with forecasters predicting the day to be cloudy with patchy light rain or drizzle with things feeling cool.

However, from Wednesday to Friday, the Met Office said it should be "mainly fine and dry", though we haven't escaped the wet weather just yet with occasional light rain and drizzle.

Take a look at the weather forecast for the North East this week:
