..Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met Office.:
....... Wednesday 25 Dec - Friday 3 Jan
Christmas Day weather will be characterised by mild, cloudy conditions for most, with bits of drizzle in places and perhaps some more persistent rain in northwest Scotland. This sets the scene for the next few days too, with an area of high pressure becoming established across much of the UK, probably centred over or just to the south of England. The highest chance of rain and strong winds will be in northwest Scotland, with many other areas predominantly dry but rather cloudy, although more settled conditions may well extend to the northwest at times too. Widely mild at first, perhaps exceptionally so in some places early on, but temperatures probably returning to nearer normal by early January. Throughout, any clearer spells overnight may lead to localised frost and fog.
Saturday 4 Jan - Saturday 18 Jan
Slowly-evolving weather expected through much of this period. Overall, there is a reduced chance compared with normal of wet and windy spells, with instead greater potential for colder episodes during the first half of January. While drier than average conditions are likely for many areas, some precipitation is still expected, which could lead to wintry hazards at times. Temperatures are likely to be close to or a little above normal overall, but this could be made up of a mix of milder and colder interludes......................................
As well as my own weather station in Harpur Hill in Buxton, at www.buxtonweather.co.uk I am proud to be a member of the Team of Volunteers, manning the Met Office Climatological Station, on the Slopes, near the Crescent in Buxton - would you like to know more about that weather station? - what it does - and its incredible 150+ years history? - If so please CLICK HERE .................................
