Tynemouth - Long Sands North (Beach) weather map
View the weather with our interactive map
Generally cloudy with scattered showers.
Generally cloudy with a chance of patchy light rain or drizzle this morning and isolated showers this afternoon. Feeling cooler for many places despite mostly light winds, although breezier along the coast at times. Later some bright spells may develop. Maximum temperature 18 °C.
Showers, possibly heavy at first, will fade leaving clear spells. Then later tonight cloud increases and showers or longer spells of rain may arrive, most likely for coastal areas. Minimum temperature 14 °C.
Any early showers or spells of rain will clear leaving a generally cloudy and dry day. However, isolated showers may develop, especially across the Pennines, but also some brighter spells. Maximum temperature 20 °C.
Friday and Saturday dry and fine with sunny spells. Sunday most likely bright or sunny spells and a chance of showers, although confidence is low. Generally warm or rather warm.
Updated:
A weather regime dominated by westerly winds is likely at first. While showers or longer spells of rain will remain possible for all parts early in the period, the focus of wet weather will likely increasingly be focussed across the west and northwest, especially over hills where rain could be prolonged. The highest chance of drier and sunnier weather is expected to the east of hills, and across south and eastern areas. Later in the period if high pressure builds into the southwest settled weather may develop there too. It will be breezy at times, especially in further north. Temperatures are most likely to be near to average or slightly above average for the time of year.
Updated:
A changeable westerly pattern will likely continue through into the start of August, with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days. There are signs that high pressure to the southwest may try to extend its influence across the UK, which could bring more in the way of dry, settled weather as we head further into August. Temperatures will likely continue to be near or above average overall. There is a chance of some very warm or hot spells developing later in August if high pressure wins out for a decent stretch of time, especially in the south and east.
