White Christmas unlikely for most in UK but a few flakes of snow are possible
The Met Office forecasts mainly dry, colder weather with a slight chance of snow in southern and eastern England; 11% of UK stations recorded snowfall last Christmas.
- On December 25, the Met Office forecasts a settled, mostly dry Christmas Day across the United Kingdom and says snow is unlikely.
- Met Office forecasters note the first half of December was exceptionally wet, and high pressure will bring drier, more settled conditions into the New Year.
- A `white Christmas` is defined by the Met Office as a single snowflake observed during the 24 hours of December 25 by an official Met Office observer or automated station; in 2023, 11% of stations recorded snowfall, but none reported it settling on the ground, with the last widespread snow in 2010 at 83% of stations.
- Residents should prepare for cold conditions as daytime temperatures could fall to 2C and feel colder in a strong easterly breeze, and they should keep up to date with Met Office forecasts and warnings ahead of festive travel.
- With three days to go, the Met Office cautions that conditions could still change, and forecasters say snow is more likely in January and February than in December.
