Overview
- Netweather says a White Christmas is unlikely overall this year, echoing Met Office signals that reduce the chance of significant Christmas Day snowfall.
- The best prospect remains in the north and over higher ground, while lowland southern Britain currently has a very low chance.
- In Wales, the Met Office highlights only the higher ground of Eryri as currently likely to see snow on December 25.
- Netweather projects temperatures around 1°C above the long-term normal with near‑normal precipitation, making persistent low‑level snow less probable.
- Bookmakers’ prices have drifted to about 7/4 for much of Scotland and up to 8/1 for parts of England, with an official White Christmas requiring just a single observed snowflake on the day.
