´óÏó´«Ã½

´óÏó´«Ã½ Northern Ireland is making a major commitment to providing enhanced weather output across its services on TV, radio and online with more local weather bulletins each day, seven days a week.

This commitment includes a dedicated team of local weather presenters: Angie Phillips will be joined by Cecilia Daly and Jackie McCann in providing more weather bulletins seven days a week, across all our services.

The new weather output will mean that there will be local weather forecasts weekdays starting at 6.30am on Good Morning Ulster on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Ulster and on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Newsline at breakfast time. There will be forecasts throughout the day on most ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Ulster news bulletins right up to midnight and inside each local ´óÏó´«Ã½ Newsline bulletin on TV until 10.30pm. Online users can also access customised video forecasts.

We’ll be telling the weather story - how it’s likely to affect you wherever you are in Northern Ireland – if it’s a day to have a brolly with you, if tomorrow is a day for the garden or if you’ll need to take care while out in the sun.

Jackie is also looking forward to the challenge of presenting the weather.

We’re also asking local people to contact us with their own weather stories and to let us know how it’s affecting them. We’d also like to hear from people across Northern Ireland who would like to act as our ‘weather spotters’ – people who would be happy for us to contact them from time to time to give us an on-the-spot weather report of what’s happening in their area.

Local people can continue submitting their weather photographs via the email address: nipics@bbc.co.uk

You can contact the weather team with your own weather stories, weather videos and feedback via the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Newsline email address: bbcnewsline@bbc.co.uk or via the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Ulster text number, 81771.Ìý
