Warm weather abnormal for the season expected to arrive soon.
Forecast: Heatwave on the Horizon for Northern Ireland
Get ready for some sweltering days, Northern Ireland! The weather forecast for next week is looking mighty fine, as warm, sunny conditions make their way to the Emerald Isle.
Expect a change-up from our present conditions, which feature frequent showers, especially in hilly areas. However, as the week progresses, the gloom will lift, and things could become downright toasty.
Monday may start out cloudy, but don't let that fool you – the thermometers will be soaring, especially inland and in the western regions, climbing well above the seasonal average for April. To give you an idea, typical April daytime temperatures hover around 12°C, but we might see highs far beyond that.
By the middle of the week, we could be flirting with the record-breaking April high of 24.5°C, set in Londonderry way back in 1984. But don't count your chickens just yet – we'll need to see how things shape up.
Keep in mind that while specific temperature predictions for Northern Ireland aren't currently available, sister regions across the UK are bracing for some serious heat. Temperatures in southern England are predicted to soar as high as 27°C by mid-week, which indicates that Northern Ireland might experience above-average temperatures, especially as weather patterns improve.
So, pack away those winter coats and pull out your sunnies – it looks like we're in for a scorcher! Stay tuned for updates as the week unfolds.
