For many of us, the Easter weekend has been long awaited and we are keen to get out and about and welcome in the Spring after months of grey, cloudy and wet weather. 

Today (Saturday, 30) may be the day to do that following a spell of wet and windy weather, conditions are set to settle across Darlington and the North East as the Met Office predicts sunny spells throughout the day with temperatures reaching a maximum of 13C.

Although temperatures are expected to be slightly higher than average during the day, the evening is set to bring more fog patches with some widespread frost expected overnight. Temperatures are likely to drop to 2C.
