Heavy rain for Easter Monday: Hour-by-hour Met Office forecast for the North East ahead of wet Bank Holiday - Chronicle Live

After a bright Easter weekend so far, the latest Met Office forecast suggests that Bank Holiday Monday will see more use out of the umbrella than the suncream.

Newcastle will see a steady temperature of around 7 degrees, but the striking weather news is the prospect of constant rain from sunrise until around 9pm. It's likely to be a day for board games and hiding from the downpours - and if you're planning on being more adventurous, a decent raincoat will be vital.

The forecasters say to expect rain that'll last most of the day - putting a dampener on any Bank Holiday plans we might have. Sunrise is due for 6.37am, with sunset at 7.44pm. The UV, pollution and pollen indexes are all set to be low.

The Met Office forecast for Easter Monday is: "Cloudy with rain gradually spreading north across the region, along with the odd heavier burst. Rather breezy throughout and feeling chilly. Perhaps some drier conditions moving into the south later. Maximum temperature 7 °C."

And for the following few days, the outlook isn't much better. The Met Office added: "Rain clearing northwards on Tuesday with some brighter spells developing. Heavy rain and strong easterly winds on Wednesday. Further rain and strong winds on Thursday."
