The Met Office has issued its verdict on the chances of a White Christmas in the UK, after separate weather maps predicted a festive snow bomb.
The Met Office has spoken on the likelihood of a White Christmas in the UK, with forecasters suggesting that early signs of icy temperatures and snow flurries may not come to fruition.
Despite this week's below-average temperatures, which saw a chilly -9.1C in Braemar, Aberdeenshire, on Tuesday, confidence in a snowy holiday remains tentative. It comes as weather maps from WX Chart predict a two day deep-freeze for Scotland, starting from Christmas Eve. He added: "Some weather patterns are starting to appear in the computer model output and give a sense a small flavour of what we might expect for the week of Christmas. One commonly occurring theme is for higher pressure to the south, lower pressure towards Iceland and this strong westerly airflow... That higher pressure is the common theme in most of the computer model projections."
Forecaster Mr McGivern has cautioned that while predictions suggest less severe weather for the festive period, changes in computer models mean Britons should keep an eye on the latest updates as Christmas approaches, reports the Mirror.
