However, while temperatures are predicted to fall by up to 2C in the South West and Scotland, forecasters warned that “there are currently no strong indications for significant or widespread warming.” snowfall” – meaning a White Christmas is unlikely for most people.
weather office “Following a period of unsettled and rainy weather,” Chief Meteorologist Jason Kelly said. SeasonWe are expecting a gradual change towards more settled conditions as high pressure builds over the next week.
“This will bring dry and cold weather for many over the Christmas period, with the risk of frost and fog overnight where skies will remain clear.”
He said that although there is a good chance of rain, it is unlikely to turn into snowfall.
“Although there is a possibility of some rain, especially in eastern and southern areas, it will probably be wintry on higher ground, there are no strong signs of significant or widespread snowfall at the moment,” he said.

Met Office meteorologist Marco Petagna said: “By Christmas Day, (temperatures) will be no better than 5 to 7 degrees Celsius across the UK, so that’s quite a drop from what we’ve seen recently, and there’s a chill in that air too.”

“There’s only a 10 per cent chance of anything significant happening there, but we definitely need a layer of snow to fall somewhere across the UK for it to technically be called a ‘White Christmas’, so the far south of England has something to keep an eye on.”
