Northern Ireland weather forecast
Headline:
Dry with sunshine turning increasingly hazy.
Today:
Some early fog patches to the north of Lough Neagh. Dry with plenty of early weak winter sunshine, which turns increasingly hazy as higher cloud spreads from the north. West to southwest winds freshening into afternoon. Maximum temperature 7 °C.
Tonight:
Cloud increasing and bringing the chance of some patchy light rain in far north, but vast majority staying dry. Fresh southwest winds and cloud should prevent an air frost. Minimum temperature 1 °C.
Monday:
Cloudy but dry is the main theme for Monday. However some limited patchy light rain or drizzle may develop in the north. Maximum temperature 10 °C.
Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:
Rather cloudy and mild through the coming days with occasional patchy light rain or drizzle. Winds light and variable.

UK long range weather forecast
Into the weekend it is expected to be largely dry and settled with bright spells and light winds, although staying cloudy for most. This will continue for the south further into the following week, whilst the north could be wetter and windier at times. Later on in this period, some rain may briefly spread further southeast across the UK, although the most unsettled weather is likely to remain in the north and northwest, where some hill snow is possible. Further southeast drier spells will be accompanied by the best of any brightness, along with the greatest risk of fog and frost. Temperatures will generally be near average, although a little below at times in the north.
Updated:
Through the first half of February, we are likely to see a north/south split continuing; with the north being more unsettled than the south. The heaviest of the rainfall and strongest winds are likely to be seen across the northwest. The south is more likely to see drier, brighter conditions with light winds. There is potentially a greater risk of frost and fog patches developing towards the south. During colder, showery interludes, any snow will most likely be over higher ground in the north, but it could fall to lower levels at times. Temperatures will remain close to or above average through the period, though will likely fluctuate as frontal systems pass through, especially in the north.
