Northern Ireland Weekend Weather Forecast: Embracing British Summer Time!

Spring is in the air in Northern Ireland with the arrival of British Summer Time this weekend. As the clocks advance, the region gears up for a mix of weather patterns. Weekend Outlook There's a lot happening this weekend, from the start of British Summer Time to Mother's Day on Sunday. The shift in time will lead to brighter mornings and longer, hopefully sunnier days. Weather Forecast Stephen Dixon from the Met Office suggests a varied weekend ahead, with wet and windy conditions predicted for the north, particularly Scotland and Northern Ireland. In contrast, the south is expected to remain relatively dry. Looking further ahead, higher pressure from the southwest is likely to stabilize the weather, bringing dry spells, fine conditions, and occasional sunshine during the next week. Weekend Details Saturday promises scattered showers and brisk winds, with rain making its way eastwards in the morning, giving way to drier conditions in the afternoon. Sunday and Monday look mostly dry, with some light rain in the northwest. As we head into April, settled weather is anticipated across the UK, with clear skies, sunny spells, and a gradual warming trend, especially inland. Coastal regions may experience cooler temperatures, with a chance of mist or sea fog along the east coast. While there's a slight risk of unsettled weather, the predominant outlook is for dry and pleasant conditions nationwide. Temperatures are set to be near or above average, providing warm days with the possibility of cool nights under clear skies.
