A spell of warmer than normal weather is forecast for Northern Ireland next week as fine, settled conditions move in.<\/p>\n

By mid-week, temperatures could rise close to the record for April which is 24.5C (76.1F), set in Londonderry in 1984.<\/p>\n

Although Monday is expected to have a fair amount of cloud, we will still see thermometers climb to the high teens, especially inland and to the west.<\/p>\n

That would be well above average for the time of year, with normal daytime temperatures in April closer to 12C.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

High pressure is expected overhead on Tuesday, bringing a fine, sunny day with just a light breeze as temperatures climb into the low 20s in the west.<\/p>\n

Coastal areas will be several degrees cooler, but still pleasant.<\/p>\n

At the minute, Wednesday is the day when temperatures are most likely to climb close to the April record.<\/p>\n

Given its history, Castlederg in County Tyrone is the most likely spot for the highest temperatures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The town holds both records for Northern Ireland’s highest (31.3C in 2021<\/a>) and lowest (-18.7C in 2010<\/a>) temperatures.<\/p>\n

Above average temperatures are expected to continue into the end of the week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Although temperatures are forecast at times to be around 10C above average for the time of year, this will not qualify as a heatwave for Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

According to the Met Office<\/a>, for that to happen temperatures must reach 25C for at least three consecutive days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
