A few wintry showers are producing snowfall across eastern England this morning. No other significant snowfall expected.
Use the links below and Snow Risk Map below to see the white Xmas chances in your area.
Christmas Day itself will be an excellent day weather-wise. Mostly dry with a good deal of winter sunshine, and crisp, cold temperatures. There will continue to be a minor risk of wintry showers from the North York Moors to Kent early on, and again a few areas locally could see some light snow from these, mounting to no more than a dusting in a few places. There will also be a light weather front passing into North West England. This could produce a few flakes of snow to higher levels, though no significant accumulations are expected. The overall snow risk map for the UK for Christmas Eve & Christmas day is provided below.
We’ve issued an early snow watch for the North York Moors & higher parts of Lincolnshire for Xmas eve. In these areas, there is the potential for 2-5cm between 100 and 200 metres of elevation, with perhaps 5-10cm above 300 metres of elevation. These are the only areas we feel may see enough snow to cause a few minor travel impacts. Enjoy your Christmas.
