It is unlikely, though, that the record temperature for Christmas Day will be broken anywhere. That 76-year-old record dates back to Christmas Day 1948, when the temperature hit 18.
The mildest recent Christmas Day was the average temperature of 15 degrees experienced in 2011. This came a year to the day after the big snows and freezing temperatures of Christmas 2010, where a record of minus 17.5 degrees was recorded. Christmas Day is going to be a mild and a mainly dry with just a few patches of drizzle.

St Stephen’s Day is also going to be mild, which should help the mummers and Wren Boys. It will also be dry. Friday will be more of the same, and high pressure over the country will bring settled conditions into the weekend. There is a chance of colder weather on the horizon as we enter the new year period, but there is no snow forecast.
