The region has escaped the red weather warning issued for more southern parts of the UK, but an amber weather warning is still in place.

Widespread impacts on people and transport are predicted with the warning lasting until 11:59 pm on Tuesday.

The Met Office has warned of adverse health effects including sunburn or heat exhaustion (dehydration, nausea, fatigue), as well as a potential "danger to life".

Current record temperatures in Newcastle were set at 32.5 degrees on August 3, 1990.
