Frosty Christmas Forecast: Near-Freezing UK!
24 Dec
Summary
- Brisk winds will make temperatures feel near freezing on Christmas Day.
- Slight chance of snow on Dartmoor, with rain showers possible.
- This Christmas is colder than recent years for the UK.
Christmas Day in the UK is set to be a chilly one, with brisk winds making temperatures feel near freezing across much of the country. The Met Office predicts that while most areas will experience dry and sunny conditions on Christmas Eve and Day, the strong easterly winds will significantly lower the perceived temperature.
While widespread snow is unlikely, there is a small possibility of light snow showers reaching Dartmoor, particularly in the afternoon, as rain moves into parts of Devon and Cornwall. Those planning a dip in the sea on Christmas Day or Boxing Day in the south may encounter large waves due to the persistent easterly winds.
Overall, this Christmas period is colder than the UK has experienced in recent years, with overnight frosts expected. Looking ahead, the weather is anticipated to remain similar through New Year's Eve, offering a consistent, albeit cold, outlook.
