Could Herefordshire be about to see a white Christmas? That’s the question on many peoples lips this morning, with plenty of us who regularly check the weather app on our phones noticing the snow symbol showing up for the big day!
What must be made clear is that at eight days out, it is FAR to early to make accurate predictions, as pointed out yesterday by Bryan from Herefordshire Weather Watch, but things certainly look like they are set to get much colder than what they have been recently, with highs of 4c more likely than the 12c we have seen over the past few days.
What is the Met Office saying? (21st – 30th December)
“The start of this period is looking to be settled and predominantly dry with large amounts of cloud. Isolated mist and fog patches developing in clearer areas. In general, cloud amounts will tend to reduce with time, with a corresponding increase in the risk of overnight fog and frost, which may be slow to clear by day in some areas.
“Towards the middle of the period, there is an increasing chance of more unsettled and windier weather affecting the UK, with rain, and perhaps snow, possible for some places.
“Temperatures will generally be near to below normal, perhaps rather cold in the south, feeling chilly where any fog persists, and locally mild in the north and northwest.”
