We've made it! It's Christmas Eve and as forecasts go, this one has been very straight forward, with little to no change since over a week ago - a rare event. The unchanged forecast has meant time to watch Charlie Brown this morning, rather than having to trawl through the latest forecast models for this update.

I could probably have just copied and pasted the last few updates today, as things really are as they were previously. High pressure is going to be over the south of the country tomorrow (Christmas day), bringing a quiet, dry and mild day, with just the north and northwest of Scotland likely to see any meaningful rain during daylight hours.
Winds are going to be from the west or southwest for most - a mild but moist direction. So, there'll be a fair bit of cloud around.
Temperature wise, most of the models are in agreement that highs will range from 9-12°c, but with a few more breaks in the cloud, we may well see some regions heading into the teens. Regardless, all parts will be milder than normal for the time of the year.
As you'll not be surprised to hear, the snow chances are zero countrywide, as they have been for a little while now.
And that's it for this year, it's not been the most exciting chase this time round, with the snow chances being pretty much zero for the whole country for the last week or so, and never a great deal higher than that for many, since we started these updates in November. But, it's been a pleasure to bring you the forecast, it's definitely my favourite one of the year, and I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas.
Next Update: November 2025
