Britons will wake up to “dry and cloudy” weather on Christmas Day with “no snow or frost” expected, the Met Office has said. Forecasters said the “exceptionally mild” temperatures seen on Christmas Eve will likely continue until closer to the new year.
Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said this year will be a “green Christmas” as no snow or frost is expected anywhere in the country. “So great news if you do have travel plans over the next few days, no weather warnings are expected, no disruptive weather – but, as I say, not great news if you want a festive feel and certainly no snow or frost on the way.
“Certainly no snow expected anywhere in the UK – so it will be a green Christmas.”. He added: “Christmas Eve has been very mild – we haven’t broken any records, but we did see a high temperature today of 14.8C in Aberdeen, which is exceptionally mild for Christmas Eve.
“It’s going to stay very similar through the Christmas period, so Christmas Day will dawn cloudy and very mild once again. “If you live across northern Scotland, it’s going to be quite windy with gales in the far north and some rain.”. Sadly, the absence of snow on Christmas Day will not be compensated by much sunshine as skies across the country are expected to remain overcast, with a few exceptions.
