For the most up-to-date conditions in Cushendall, the live forecast above gives you current temperature, wind and precipitation details. The BBC weather feed updates regularly, so treat that as your immediate reference, while this page explains what those figures mean for your coastal day.
What does the forecast for Cushendall actually tell you?
Cushendall sits on the Antrim coast, meaning its weather is heavily influenced by the Irish Sea and prevailing westerlies. The live forecast above shows temperature, wind speed and direction, plus chance of rain. Wind chill can make it feel several degrees cooler, especially in exposed spots near the beach or Glens of Antrim. If you see a high humidity percentage, expect mist or drizzle to linger longer than inland areas.
How reliable is the BBC weather data for Cushendall?
The BBC uses Met Office data, so the live forecast above is from the same source as the official Met Office weather for Cushendall. For a seven-day outlook, the model accuracy is good for general trends (warm/cold/wet/dry) but less reliable for precise hour-by-hour rain timing beyond 48 hours. Check the live forecast again on the day you plan to visit.
Does Cushendall get more rain than Belfast?
Yes, on average. The Glens of Antrim create orographic lift, so Cushendall sees around 1,100 mm annually versus Belfast’s 900 mm. The live forecast above shows today’s rain chance.
Is the sea temperature warm enough to swim?
Summer sea temps reach 13–15°C – bracing for most. Use the live forecast wind direction: a southerly breeze makes the water feel slightly warmer near Red Bay.
Can I trust the BBC Weather app for walking in the Glens?
Only for the next 12–24 hours. For hillwalking above 200 m, check the Met Office weather for Cushendall mountain forecast, which includes summit wind and visibility.
