Met Office make weather forecast, showing if Nottinghamshire will see snow this Christmas

With Christmas just around the corner, the Met Office has confirmed what we can expect over the festive period from the weather.

The thought of waking up with a snow dusted garden on Christmas morning for some would be a magical treat — but for others it’s a complete inconvenience when trying to visit relatives by hitting the roads Chris Rea style.

Before the big day, Nottinghamshire can expect windy and wet conditions, however, this is set to change for a dry and calm Christmas Day.

Deputy Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office Dan Harris, having looked at the forecast, said: “With Christmas still seven days away, we cannot yet be confident about the regional scale details, however the broad trends in the forecast come with higher than usual confidence for this lead time.

“Current indications are that more settled conditions are likely to develop from Christmas Eve onwards, with the majority of the UK coming under the influence of high pressure.

“Christmas Day itself is likely to be settled, often cloudy, and dry with light winds for the majority.

“Once again, the far north may be windier, with a small chance of further rain across northwest Scotland.

“Temperatures are expected to be widely mild, so if you are hoping for a blanket of snow across the country on Christmas Day, I’m sorry to say you will be disappointed.

“We’ll be giving more details as we get closer to the day, so do keep up-to-date with the latest Met Office forecast.”
