"Long-range weather forecasts for the rest of December have not ruled out the possibility of a White Christmas. Many will be hoping for a repeat of 2023, when snow was recorded at a number of weather stations across the UK on December 25. The Met Office said 11 per cent of stations recorded snow falling, although none reported snow lying on the ground."
"The Met Office has predicted "further spells of rain that could be heavy and prolonged across the UK from December 15 up until Christmas Eve. People taking pictures of artificial snow in Covent Garden At the beginning of the week, there's also potential for "very strong winds, especially in the north, where it will be frosty overnight, and west of the UK.

"In the capital, temperatures will be chilly but fairly mild at the start of the week, averaging around 11C in the day with chances of rain showers.

Long-range forecasts do not rule out a White Christmas; 11% of weather stations recorded snow falling on 25 December 2023, though none reported lying snow. Heavy, prolonged rain is expected across the UK from about 15 December until Christmas Eve. Very strong winds are possible early in the week, mainly in northern and western areas, with frosty nights and increasing risk of fog and localized frost toward Christmas. London will be fairly mild early in the week (about 11C by day) with rain and drizzle on Christmas Eve. From Christmas Day into early January a high-pressure area should bring drier, less windy conditions and a higher but localized chance of snowfall on northern high ground, while widespread snow and ice remain unlikely.
