Whitehead (County Antrim) weather

This Evening and Tonight:

A cloudy evening with further showers, some of which may be heavy. Showers becoming more isolated and confined to the north overnight with clearer spells developing in the south. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Tuesday:

Heavy showers clearing to the north through the morning. Otherwise a mostly dry day with bright or sunny spells. Turning cloudier in the afternoon with some evening rain likely. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Mostly dry and bright on Wednesday but strong winds expected. Remaining mostly cloudy and unsettled Thursday and Friday with showers, perhaps heavy, with some longer spells of rain possible.

The broadly unsettled conditions look to continue during the first part of this period. All areas are likely to see some further spells of wet and at times windy weather, interspersed with brighter, showery interludes. By the start of the following week, a ridge of high pressure may extend eastwards towards the UK, bringing an increasing chance of longer periods of drier weather to northern areas initially, whilst low pressure remains closer to the south or southeast. Towards the end of this period, high pressure may be rather more dominant across the UK. A cooler interlude is likely for a time through next week, with chilly nights and fog patches likely under the influence of high pressure. Temperatures probably return closer to average by late September.

Signals for prevailing weather patterns become fairly limited by the turn of the month and the early part of October. As is typical at this time of year, there are likely to be some spells of wet and windy weather along with some drier interludes but no strong preference to whether settled or unsettled regimes will be most dominant. Overall, northwestern parts are more likely to be wettest and windiest. Temperatures likely fluctuating around average.
