Here's how the weather is shaping up for Easter Weekend in Northern Ireland 🐰🍫☀️
Spring is here, dust off the BBQ's...
Spring has officially sprung, the kids are off school and the Easter holidays are here.
There is some good news as forecasters are predicting an "unseasonably warm and dry" start to Easter in Northern Ireland.
Temperatures could reach record-breaking highs of 21-22C later today in the west of the province.
According to the Met Office; "Many places will be fine and dry for Good Friday, with warm sunny spells."
"The second half of the Easter weekend will slowly turn more changeable and cooler, especially on Easter Sunday for a time."
The mini-heatwave could put parts of the province hotter than Barcelona where temperatures are expected to climb to 18C and on a par with Portugal where it will be 17C.
With Easter falling so late this year, there was always a good chance there would be some fine weather.
