Hot weather has set Tyne and Wear sizzling. And the sunshine should continue for a few days yet.
A Met office forecaster said the good weather would continue into the weekend.
He said: "There will be some cloud but temperatures will be well above the average for this time of year. Things will get a little bit fresher at the weekend but we are looking at wall to wall sunshine."
Tweeters saw the sun come out from behind the clouds.

And The Free Trade Inn said simply: "SUN!!!"
