What is the weather like in Bessbrook right now?

How does Bessbrook’s location affect its weather?
Bessbrook lies about three miles north of the border near Newry, sheltered by the Ring of Gullion to the south and Slieve Croob to the north. This means it often sees slightly less rainfall than exposed coastal spots, but can trap cold air on clear nights, leading to frost well into spring.
