How does Antrim’s location affect its weather?

Antrim sits on the northern edge of Lough Neagh, which moderates temperatures slightly but also fuels local mist and low cloud, particularly in autumn and winter. The inland position means it escapes some of the gales that hit the north coast, but you’ll still feel the Atlantic influence. For a broader look at conditions in the region, see our Belfast weather page or check BBC Weather Belfast for the capital’s forecast.
