The Met Office has given its verdict on whether Brits can expect a White Christmas as it announced its long-term forecast for December.
Brits have faced a wet and windy December so far, with freezing temperatures set to continue as we approach Christmas. And as the festive period gets into swing, the Met Office has revealed that some Brits can expect a white Christmas.
" Snow could also be set to hit the UK as we enter the New Year. The Met Office said: "We are more likely to see snow in January and February than in December, with snow actually settling on the ground an average of 3 days in December, compared to 3.3 days in January, 3.4 days in February and 1.9 days in March . "Climate change has also brought higher average temperatures over land and sea and this generally reduced the chances of a white Christmas.
