Northern Ireland

Cold. Bright or clear spells. Occasional showers.

  • A mostly dry and bright day, particularly over southern counties through the afternoon
  • However, a few scattered showers, these mainly in the north and east and wintry over the hills
  • Maximum Temperature 4C

Tonight:

  • Dry with some clear spells over southern counties
  • A few showers around the north and east coasts, largely dying out overnight
  • Minimum Temperature -2C

Saturday:

  • Staying cold
  • Dry and bright much of the day with perhaps the odd coastal shower in the north and east
  • Maximum Temperature 4C

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

  • Rain, sleet and snow spreading north on Sunday, clearing to bright spells and some showers on Monday and Tuesday
  • with strong northwesterly winds at times

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • Much of this period is likely to remain colder than average, with an ongoing risk of ice and frost
  • There will also likely be wintry or snow showers at times along coastal areas exposed to onshore winds, these occasionally feeding farther inland, but interspersed with some lengthy dry and clear spells
  • Some longer spells of rain, perhaps preceded by some sleet and snow, may push into some southern and/or western areas as Atlantic frontal systems attempt to make some progress into the UK, perhaps also introducing something briefly milder
  • Towards mid-January there may be a trend towards less-cold conditions more generally, but perhaps with high pressure nearby which could result in fairly settled conditions with an increasing chance of fog

UK Week 3 and 4

  • Slowly-evolving weather patterns look most likely through the second half of January, with high pressure often in the vicinity of the UK, although the flavour of the weather we experience depends on where the high and low pressure centres are relative to the UK
  • There are currently no strong signals for prolonged cold but spells of cold weather are likely, with frost, fog, and wintry showers
  • Pulses of more unsettled weather are more likely across the south than the north, and may bring milder conditions for a time too

Visibility in km. Above 50km is 'good'. Humidity and air pollution make it worse. Theoretical maximum is 300km/200 miles in clean dry polar air.

On the South Downs, at ~ 170m/500ft, the horizon is is ~ 45km/30 miles away. On a mountain at 1,000m/3,000ft, it is ~ 160km/100 miles away. Formula: horizon in km = √ (13 x altitude in m)

Notes

  • Max Height (solar noon) is when the sun is highest in the sky.
  • Day length is dawn to dusk as there is enough light for walking for at least 30 minutes before sunrise and after sunset, even on an overcast day.
  • At 'Light' (nautical dawn) the horizon becomes visible. At 'Dawn' (civil dawn) there is enough light to read, and drivers can switch their lights off. Finally the sun rises.
  • After sunset, there is still enough light to read until 'Dusk' (civil dusk) or lighting up time for drivers. The horizon is still visible until 'Dark' (nautical dusk).
  • Times will vary if there is a hill on the horizon.

Notes

  • The percentage of the moon which is illuminated doesn't vary much with location.
  • A full moon is not just bigger, it is much brighter. A quarter moon (1/2 disk visible) give less than 5% of the illumination of a full moon. You can walk with a quarter moon if its high in the sky (after dusk for a growing moon, before dawn for a shrinking moon).
  • Sky glow (light reflected by air or clouds) from nearby cities, and especially snow on the ground also effect light levels.
  • Times will vary a few minutes, as (i) these figures are for the centre of the county the walk is in, (ii) if there are hills on the horizon, and (iii) if you are on a hill
  • Sunlight is ~ 1,000,000 times brighter than moonlight.
  • Of course, you need a cloudless night as well!

Now would be a good time for a cup of tea.
