A white Christmas is likely for some parts of the UK with temperatures set to drop in the coming days, according to forecasters
But for the rest of the UK temperatures are actually milder than normal for this time of year, according to forecaster Simon Partridge.
"On the high ground, we're quite likely to see a white Christmas, on Christmas Day and Boxing Day," said Mr Partridge.Southern England is expected to see mild temperatures of between seven and nine degrees, with spells of rain and cloud. Motorists driving to see family and friends in south Wales and south-west England have been warned to take care on the roads as heavy downpours could hit both regions.
Mr Partridge said colder, brighter spells were expected for Scotland but warned low cloud and fog will roll in across the Midlands and up towards the Scottish border, also taking in Northern Ireland. Met Office chief meteorologist Frank Saunders said snow reaching higher regions with lower temperatures could result in ice risks.Read more:
