NI's bank holiday weekend weather report
A typical springtime mix of weather is likely for Northern Ireland over the Bank Holiday weekend, with sunshine, showers and some longer spells of rain possible for some.
Showers will continue for most in Northern Ireland on Friday.
Saturday will be a dry day for much of the UK, with some good periods of sunshine for many and temperatures likely reaching into the low 20s Celsius in a few places in the southeast.
However, later Saturday and into Sunday will see a change once again as Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mark Sidaway explained: “The Bank Holiday weekend will see some sunny spells and it will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine for many on Saturday in particular.”
“Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday will likely see a return to sunshine and showers. Low pressure to the west is likely to push fronts into the UK on Sunday, these tending to break up and turn more showery in nature as they do so.
"We are likely to see some heavy, possibly thundery showers on both days, but there should still be some dry spells in between, and in any sunshine it will feel pleasantly warm.”
