Get Ready for a Weekend Weather Rollercoaster in Northern Ireland

Temperatures are expected to climb leading up to the 'mini heatwave', but what can we expect from the weather across Northern Ireland for the weekend? Intriguing Mix of Weather:

At this stage, the Met Office is forecasting a bit of a mixed bag - with rain, cloud, and sunshine in the forecast for the days ahead. Temperatures are set to reach around 18°C as a prelude to the upcoming 'mini heatwave' next week. Warm Spell Anticipation:

Temperatures are set to rise early next week, particularly in southern parts of the UK, potentially reaching the low 20s. This warming trend is typical for April. Weekend Weather Outlook:

- Saturday: Cloudy night with rain clearing to the east, becoming confined to the far southeast by dawn. Minimum temperature 4°C.
- Sunday: Breezy with mainly cloudy skies, patchy rain in the morning, bright spells later. Maximum temperature 18°C. Recent Temperature Trends:

During early April, many parts of the UK experienced uncharacteristically dry weather. Some areas saw temperatures exceeding 20°C, the earliest in 13 years, with further warm days anticipated. Sunny Days Ahead:

Belfast is expected to reach a glorious 19°C on Tuesday, April 29, and 20°C on Wednesday, April 30. The Met Office suggests this sunny, warm spell will extend into the upcoming May Bank Holiday weekend.
