Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, is set to experience a period of unsettled weather starting on Monday, 23 March 2026, as rain and strong winds move into the region. This change follows a stretch of milder, sunny conditions that residents can enjoy through Friday 20 March to Sunday 22 March 2026.

Data from the Met Office shows that the chance of rain will increase significantly from less than 5 per cent during the sunny weekend to between 30 and 40 per cent by early next week. Temperatures are also expected to drop as the unsettled pattern brings a cooler feel to the area.

Wind speeds will rise steadily, with gusts reaching 25mph on Monday, 23 March 2026, before picking up to 32mph on Tuesday. The strongest winds are currently predicted for Wednesday, 25 March 2026, when gusts could reach up to 36mph.

People living in the community are advised to prepare for potential impacts on outdoor activities and travel as the weather turns. Local residents should continue to check for updates as the breezy and wet conditions develop throughout the week.
