For the latest conditions in Cushendall, the live forecast above gives today’s outlook for this Antrim coast village. It typically shows a blend of cloud and sunny intervals driven by Atlantic systems, with fresh breezes off the Irish Sea.
What is the weather like in Cushendall today?
Cushendall sits on the northeast coast of County Antrim, sheltered by the Glens of Antrim. The live forecast above reflects the day’s likely mix: perhaps a damp start then brightening, or a dry, crisp afternoon. Coastal towns often see sea fog or haar rolling in, so visibility can change quickly. Wind direction from the south-west or north-west especially shapes conditions — the former bringing milder, wetter air, the latter cooler, showery spells.
How does Cushendall’s coastal setting affect its climate?
Being on the Antrim coast, Cushendall experiences a temperate maritime climate. Winters are mild (rarely below freezing for long) and summers cool, with average highs around 17–19°C. The nearby sea moderates temperatures but also drives frequent cloud and light rain. The village gets about 1,000mm of rain annually, spread across many days — largely courtesy of Atlantic fronts. Snow is uncommon, usually settling only inland or on higher ground.
What is the best time of year to visit Cushendall for good weather?
Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September) often bring drier, more settled spells with pleasant temperatures. July and August can be fine but also subject to Atlantic rain. For more detail, see the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK for the region.
How accurate are long-range weather forecasts for Cushendall?
Three- to five-day outlooks from the Met Office are generally reliable for broad trends (e.g., rain or high pressure). Beyond that, small shifts in Atlantic low-pressure tracks can change conditions quickly, so check the Met Office weather Cushendall page nearer the time.
Does Cushendall ever get snow?
Snow is rare on the coast because of the sea’s warming influence, but it may settle briefly a few times a year, usually in January or February. Inland areas and the Glens of Antrim see more frequent cover. For current warnings, follow bbc news coverage.
