Bank Holiday weekend to stay mainly dry but cloudy

As we gear up for Monday's Bank Holiday and consider whither we should get the BBQ out, it looks like we could be in for a few cloudy days ahead.

It is good news for hay fever sufferers as the pollen count is set to remain low all weekend.

According to the Met Office, Saturday will get off to a mainly dry, bright but rather cloudy morning, after any low cloud disperses.

We will see thicker cloud in the afternoon which will bring a little rain with some low cloud, especially near coasts and around Co Derry and Co Fermanagh with a maximum temperature 17°C.

The UV index for Saturday is moderate.

Temperatures overnight on Saturday are set to be mild with a low of 6°C expected around Dungiven. Elsewhere, we can expect overnight temperatures of around 9 or 10°C.

Looking ahead, we should see some early low cloud on Sunday then a dry but mostly cloudy day.

Temperature wise, we can expect highs of up to 14°C.

Despite this, the UV index is high for both Sunday and Monday so you might want to consider wearing some SPF.

Bank holiday Monday looks set to be a rather cloudy day with some hazy sunshine.

The highest temperatures can be expected in Co Fermanagh where it could get as warm as 18°C.
