Residents in Durham, County Durham, can expect a break from recent damp weather as sunny intervals and temperatures of 14°C arrive on Tuesday, 17 March 2026. This change marks a notable improvement for the city following several days of grey skies and rain.

The new conditions follow a period characterized by overcast clouds and drizzly outbreaks that moved across the region from the west. This shift towards drier weather provides an opportunity for outdoor activities after the persistent rainfall seen earlier in the week.

According to the Met Office, the clearer skies are expected to stay in place as the week continues. Forecasts show that Wednesday, 18 March 2026, will be even warmer, with full sunshine and temperatures reaching a high of 16°C.
