Christmas Eve is set to be the best day of the week in Bristol, when the city will enjoy a dry and bright sunny day, with the thermometer rising to a seasonally warm 9C.
Speaking about the potential for a mild Christmas, a Met Office spokesman told the Mirror Online: "At the moment we can't be specific with it but it does look like, going by air flow, the temperatures will be slightly above average.
"We can't say at the moment that it will be anything record breaking, but certainly southern parts of the country will be milder than average."
The spokesman said average temperatures across the UK for Christmas Day could be as high as 7C.
