Green Christmas for the UK, Then Winter Strikes

Green Christmas for the UK, Then Winter Strikes

WORCESTER, England, December 22/PRNewswire/ -- The game is almost up for another year, with the likelihood of any snow on Christmas Day almost zero, but there is enough interest to keep the bookies sweating right up to midnight on the big day as colder air arrives from the east, signalling the onset of what may be a significant cold spell from Boxing Day onward.

According the forecasters at http://www.Netweather.tv, the weather this Christmas will be fairly quiet, chilly in a freshening easterly breeze with patchy fog and frost early and late. Paul Michaelwaite of Netweather.tv comments:

"It's a nailed on green Christmas for the vast majority this year, but with colder weather arriving late on Christmas day, there is just a chance of a flake or two of snow before midnight in parts of the Southeast and East Anglia."

Beyond Christmas Day, as easterly winds pull in far colder air across the UK, bitter temperatures, hard overnight frosts and the risk of snow come to the fore as winter begins to bite once more. Paul Michaelwaite adds:

"We've been watching this one for some time now, and it's certainly going to become a lot colder, those out trying to walk off Christmas extravagances will need to wrap up, and anyone travelling should certainly check the forecast prior to beginning their journey. Current expectations are that the cold spell could last into the New Year, with some signals pointing towards an exceptionally wintry spell of weather being likely."
