Summer is in full swing and people across the north-east of England and Cumbria have been flocking outside to enjoy the warmer temperatures.

Meteorological summer ends on 31 August before the autumn months draw in.

Our Weather Watchers have captured some of their adventures so far.

Here are some of our favourites.
