The first few weeks of 2025 brought a raft of different weather phenomena to north-east England and Cumbria.
Snow settled across the region in early January, there were a few bright days and colourful sunsets - and then Storm Éowyn landed.
Our Weather Watchers captured the ups and downs across the region.
Here are some of our favourites.
