UK weather maps show 114 hours of ‘non-stop’ snow hammering Britain days before Christmas. The forecast from December 20th suggests snowfall aplenty, with most of the UK experiencing the frosty weather. The UK could be hit with 114 hours worth of snow later this month, with a high chance there could be a white Christmas!
This winter has seen varied weather, with Storm Darragh battering the country, along with heavy snowfall and rain causing numerous school closures in November. Now it looks like the freezing weather will continue, as WX Charts are forecasting most of Scotland and northern England will be covered in snow from 6am on Friday December 20th, with around 12cm of snow predicted to fall in Scotland by Saturday December 21st. More snow flurries are expected in Newcastle, Durham and Middlesbrough on Tuesday December 24th, with parts of Wales also predicted to see snow, especially in northern areas around Snowdonia. WX Charts also suggest there could be some snow on Wednesday December 25th, with snow forecast to fall around 12pm in northern England.
Whilst they haven’t confirmed whether there will be snow on Christmas Day, the Met Office forecast for Monday December 23rd to Monday January 6th states: “Mainly unsettled conditions appear likely for most, with spells of wind and rain followed by showers affecting most areas but especially the north and northwest of the UK. “Some sleet and snow is also likely at times, especially on high ground in the north. However, there are also some signs that more settled conditions are possible at times, these perhaps most likely across the south late in December or into early January. “Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with any more settled interludes bringing a risk of frost and fog.”
