The Met Office predicts a possibility of a white Christmas in some northern UK areas, but snowfall is likely to be limited to higher ground. Overall, weather conditions are expected to be unsettled in the coming weeks and into January, with spells of wet and windy weather mixed with drier and brighter periods. Temperatures are forecast to be above average for much of the time.
There’s a possibility that some areas in the UK could experience a white Christmas , according to the Met Office. However, forecasters warn that any snowfall is likely to be limited to higher ground in northern areas, so it won’t be widespread.
Overall conditions are expected to be “unsettled” in the coming weeks, with spells of wet and windy weather mixed with drier and brighter conditions. However, it’s likely to be the northwest that’s hardest hit with wet weather.Forecasters said: ”The wettest and windiest conditions will probably be in the north, especially the northwest, with spells of heavy rain at times as low pressure systems pass by.” The south is expected to be “drier overall” but with some unsettled weather still forecast.
Predicting from December 31 until January 14, forecasters said: “Spells of wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier, more settled interludes. The heaviest rain and strongest winds will generally be in the north, with the south drier and less windy overall.”
