Christmas could come with dry weather after heavy showers, says Met Office

The Christmas season has chimed in and the weather conditions in the UK are set to show a volatile trend.

With strong winds and constant showers, that coming week is predicted to see fluctuating weather throughout the day.

Met Office notes: “Low pressure will dominate the UK’s weather over the weekend and early next week, bringing periods of rain, locally heavy, and showers. With some areas already experiencing saturated ground, further rainfall could lead to localised impacts, including a risk of surface water flooding.”

Meanwhile, Chief Meteorologist Jason Kelly, adds: “After a spell of unsettled and wet weather, we’re expecting a gradual shift to more settled conditions as high pressure builds into next week. This will bring drier and colder weather for many over the Christmas period, with the risk of overnight frost and fog where skies clear.

However, Christmas Day is expected to be relatively drier with a constant weather.

“While there will likely be some showers, more especially in eastern and southern areas, these perhaps wintry over higher ground, there are currently no strong signals for significant or widespread snowfall. As always, we advise everyone to keep up to date with the latest Met Office forecasts and warnings, especially if you’re making plans over the festive period,” the expert notes.
