Met Office issue update on chances of a white Christmas this year

Christmas is just a few days away which means many people may be wondering what the chances are of a white Christmas this year.

According to the Met Office, most people will experience an "unsettled Christmas" with wet and cloudy conditions forecast across the UK.

But it's not all bad news, as there could be some snowfall in parts of northern England and Scotland on December 25.

Weather experts predict the greatest chance of snow is expected to fall over higher ground in the north of England and Scotland.

The Met Office said the exact location is still uncertain, but Pennine areas and the Southern Uplands are the most likely to see snow.

Further north, cold conditions and clear skies are forecast, with spells of sunshine and lower daytime temperatures.

The forecast for Liverpool on December 25 shows overcast conditions with light rain and highs of six degrees.

Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Chris Bulmer, said: “The Christmas period will be a fairly unsettled spell across the UK this year.

"Many will see wet and cloudy conditions as mild air dominates over the south and west of the UK.

Where this mild air meets colder air trying to sink south there is a chance of some Christmas snow, this looking most likely over the Pennines, however exactly where this boundary will be is still uncertain.

"In the far north cold conditions and clearer skies will bring a more wintry feel. For many areas a brisk easterly wind will bring a notable wind chill."
