Forecasting snow in the UK is notoriously difficult.
Partly it will depend upon exactly how cold the air moving across the UK is, but the other necessary ingredient is precipitation – something falling from the sky.
At the moment it looks like most places will be dry on Christmas Day, which will be welcomed in areas which have recently seen heavy rain such as Cumbria and south Wales.
However, a few computer weather models do hint at a little wet weather pushing across the Channel Islands and possibly fringing into the far south of England.
If this was to happen it could mean a little sleet or snow mixing in, especially over high ground.
It is also possible that thick cloud rolling into the east of Scotland could give a few flakes of light snow over the hills and mountains.
So the chances of a white Christmas are low – but not zero – and you can keep up to date with any changes in the forecast on the BBC Weather website and app.
