Now, while up here in the North East we don't mind a bit of rain and rarely like to wear a coat, we much prefer the sun to be shining if we're outdoors.
So, we're keeping everything crossed that Mother Nature will be kind for the this week.
Emma, Geri, Mel B and Mel C are at the Stadium of Light on Thursday, June 6 on their Spice World tour and with the Spice Girls setlist no longer a secret, a huge Spice Girls Fan Zone being held in Sunderland and plenty of Spice Girls tour spoilers leaked, excitement is now at fever pitch for their arrival - make sure you know the Spice Girls stage times.
The Spice Girls tour has been blighted with quite a bit of rain so far - we were in Manchester last week and we've just about dried out! - so what will the weather bring for Sunderland?
