‘Unsettled’ weather predicted for NI in the week ahead

A mixture of weather is forecasted by the Met Office for the week ahead

The Met Office has forecasted a mixed bag of weather for the region over the course of this week.

The “unsettled” pattern will see a dry start to the week with sunny spells predicted for early Monday before a risk of evening showers sets in around evening.

A spokesman from the Met office said Monday would be: “A dry day with good sunny spells and light winds. A few showers arriving from the northwest in the evening. The maximum temperatures will be 15C.”

The mid-week outlook will see a mixture of sunshine and showers on Tuesday and Wednesday, with longer spells of rain possible on Thursday.

Rounding out the week, Friday and the weekend are expected to again be a mixture of weather, continuing the early week pattern anticipated.

Here’s what the Met Office’s Mark Sidaway had to say: “Bank holiday Monday will remain changeable, with lingering cloud and scattered showers across southern and central areas, but these should be lighter and fewer than over the weekend.”

“Farther north and northeast it will feel fresher and cooler, with a few scattered showers, some possibly wintry over higher ground in the far north east.

“Winds will be mostly light to moderate, though stronger at times in the far northeast, and while temperatures will be close to average for many, it will feel noticeably chillier in northern and north-eastern areas.”
