Mullan Point (County Londonderry) weather

Headline:

Scattered showers, heavy at times.

This Evening and Tonight:

Mostly cloudy, often dry but a few showers drifting around, perhaps the odd heavy one later in the night. A few clear intervals too. It will be a mild night with light winds. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Saturday:

A rather cloudy start then brightening up with some sunny intervals. Scattered heavy showers then breaking out by the afternoon, mainly in the west. Warm with light winds. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Sunny spells and heavy, possibly thundery showers on Sunday. Further showers or longer spells of rain at times on Monday and Tuesday.

Overall a rather more changeable pattern of weather through this period, compared to much of the summer thus far. Wednesday will likely see a continuation of heavy, perhaps thundery showers, although the focus may be more across the north and east by this stage. Thereafter, a general westerly or north-westerly regime looks to become established, with occasional weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. This means further rain or showers and breezy conditions at times, especially in the northwest. This will be interspersed with some drier, sunnier periods. Temperatures are expected to be close to or a little above average for most of the period. This broad pattern is likely to continue through to the end of July.

The rather changeable pattern will likely continue through into the start of August with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days. However there are signs that high pressure may become rather more dominant, which could bring more in the way dry, settled weather more widely as we progress further into the month. Temperatures will likely continue to be above average overall, with the possibility of very warm or hot spells developing period, especially further south and east.
