It's safe to say that autumn is well and truly here, as temperatures took more of a dip across Northern Ireland this weekend.

Friday marked one of the coldest nights of the season so far with temperatures down to minus 4 degrees in some spots.

Sunday got off to a bright but chilly start for many across Northern Ireland with a mix of sunny intervals and showers.

For the coming days, the Met Office is predicting some heavy rain and blustery conditions to usher in the new working week.

Low-pressure will be the driving force for our weather through the early part of this week, bringing periods of rain, along with strong winds for some.

A yellow weather warning for heavy rain is also in place from 6am until midnight on Monday and is likely to cause some disruption to travel during the day.

Here is the latest weather forecast for the coming days.

Monday:

Outbreaks of rain spreading to southern and western parts with some heavy burst for a time. Staying dry with some brightness across Antrim. Breezy around the coasts. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Mainly dry with some sunshine on Tuesday. Breezy on Wednesday with rain clearing to sunshine and showers, rain or showers on Thursday, windy with coastal gales.

UK long range weather forecast: Thursday 24 November - Saturday 3 December

Unsettled weather is most likely to dominate throughout this period. On Thursday, it will be a bright start for central/eastern areas.

Showers in western areas will become heavier and more persistent throughout the day and will move east/northeast.

Windy conditions expected, with gales likely in coastal areas of the southwest. Into the start of the weekend, conditions are expected to remain unsettled with further showers or longer periods of rain.

At the end of November and into the start of December, conditions are likely to remain changeable, with periods of rain and strong winds.

Western areas will likely continue to see heavier and more persistent rainfall compared to other parts of the country. Temperatures are likely to be around the seasonal average.
