Warmer weather is on the way this weekend in NI
High pressure is expected to build over the weekend bringing warmer and drier conditions for the UK.
According to the Met Office, Friday will see a reduction in rainfall amounts for most. It’ll be the start of a period of dry and fine weather for many as a ridge of high pressure builds from the west.
Deputy Chief Meteorologist Helen Caughey said: “From Friday, we see a change in weather type, with conditions turning drier and more settled from the west.
“Although some showers are possible at times - most likely in the southeast initially and later in the weekend in the northwest - many should see a decent amount of sunshine.
“With the exception of the southeast at first, where it will be rather cool to start the weekend, temperatures are generally unremarkable for the time of year, close to or a little above average. However, it will feel a little warmer with light winds and prolonged sunny spells, generally away from windward coasts.”
