It’s going to be a inexperienced Christmas: UK map reveals what climate you possibly can anticipate for the massive day – as there isn’t any snow on the best way

Brits will wake up to a ‘green Christmas‘ as ‘exceptionally mild’ temperatures will continue closer to the new year, the Met Office has confirmed.

Forecasters say the temperatures will remain the same as seen on Christmas Eve and will go on until 2025 comes in.

Meteorologist Tom Morgan said this year will be a ‘green Christmas’ as no snow or frost is expected anywhere in the country.

He said: ‘So great news if you do have travel plans over the next few days, no weather warnings are expected, no disruptive weather – but, as I say, not great news if you want a festive feel and certainly no snow or frost on the way.

‘Certainly no snow expected anywhere in the UK – so it will be a green Christmas.’

He added: ‘Christmas Eve has been very mild – we haven’t broken any records, but we did see a high temperature today of 14.8C in Aberdeen, which is exceptionally mild for Christmas Eve.

‘It’s going to stay very similar through the Christmas period, so Christmas Day will dawn cloudy and very mild once again.

‘If you live across northern Scotland, it’s going to be quite windy with gales in the far north and some rain.’

But for those looking for sunshine will also be disappointed as the absence of snow on Christmas Day will not be compensated by much sunshine as skies across the country are expected to remain overcast, with a few exceptions.

Mr Morgan said: ‘Most places will have a dry and cloudy day.

‘A few places will see a few glimmers of sunshine, but you’ll be fairly lucky to see much brightness on Christmas Day.’

‘Glimmers of brightness’ will be seen in a few more places on Boxing Day, Mr Morgan added.

‘Boxing Day will be very similar – it’s another cloudy and mild day, with a few glimmers of brightness, particularly in north east England and the Midlands.

‘Some places in northern Scotland like the Shetland Isles should see some sunshine.’

The Met Office said the weather is expected to turn towards January 30, with colder and rainier weather to settle across the UK.

Mr Morgan said: ‘Not a lot changes through the rest of this week and indeed this weekend, but as we move towards the New Year, we could see a change to cooler conditions and wetter conditions more widely.

‘There could be some heavy rain at times and there is an increasing chance of some snow – but it’s too early to say where that snow is going to fall.’

This will no doubt cause many to sigh of relief following the strong winds seen over the weekend.

Weather warnings were put in place across the UK at the weekend as gusts caused flight cancellations and widespread rail delays with Belfast City Airport having to close its runway on Sunday after a plane was damaged in a ‘hard landing’.

While Heathrow Airport was forced to cancel around 100 flights on Sunday due to the conditions, a spokesperson said it was ‘business as usual’ on Monday.

And National Rail was not reporting any widespread issues on Monday, although there were some isolated issues.

Enjoying the mid weather are thousands of swimmers as they take part in annual Christmas swims.

On Tuesday partakers at Helen’s Bay in County Down appeared full of Christmas cheer wearing santa hats and posing in the water – seemingly grateful for the unseasonably warm conditions.

Elsewhere shoppers are dashing to buy last-minute gifts and travellers head home for the festive season.

Strong winds battered the UK at the weekend causing flight cancellations and widespread rail delays.

Many feared the travel mayhem would throw their Christmas plans into disarray but all warnings have now been lifted due to the improved weather.
