Warm and sunny weather to continue this weekend in NI
Last updated 9th May 2024
The mercury is expected to climb over the next few days, with bright and sunny conditions for many in Northern Ireland.
Pollen levels are also set to increase as the temperature rises, with medium to high levels over the next couple of days.
According to forecasters, the weather will return to more unsettled conditions next week, so best to enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.
Deputy Chief Meteorologist Tony Wisson said: “Many places will start fine and warm on Sunday, though it is likely to become cloudier from the west or southwest during the day. This will be accompanied by scattered showers, which could be heavy with thunder.
“On Monday we're likely to see more widespread and longer-lived spells of rain, some of which will be heavy and thundery. This will also lead to a much cooler feel to the day.”
