Met Office releases forecast for Christmas Day - and issues warning before then The Met Office has released its forecast for Christmas Day - and there will be no white Christmas this year, it says.
The Met Office's Dan Harris said: "Christmas Day itself is likely to be settled, often cloudy, and dry with light winds for the majority.
The nation's weather service says that pressure will build as the festive day approaches and on 25 December there are likely to be settled conditions, mild in many places.
"Temperatures are expected to be widely mild, so if you are hoping for a blanket of snow across the country on Christmas Day, I'm sorry to say you will be disappointed.".
Before then, however, some parts of the UK are set to be hit by high winds with the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning.
