It's just five days until Christmas day and many of us will be hoping for a white Christmas.
However, the current forecast from the Met Office shows temperatures in Merseyside will be much milder on December 25. We can expect to see wet and windy weather before the big day itself, with a yellow weather warning currently in place for Merseyside on Thursday, December 21.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Chris Almond said there are still some uncertainties in the details of the forecast for Christmas Day itself. He said: “On Christmas Day there’s a chance of showers almost anywhere, and across the high ground of Scotland in particular, these could fall as sleet and snow, which would technically make it a White Christmas, as we only need to see a single flake falling.
"However, for the majority of the UK it’s unlikely that we’ll see significant snow, but it will likely feel cold in a strong breeze. Beyond Christmas Day a westerly influence on the weather remains the most likely scenario, with further rain or showers and strong winds for many, and again mainly over the hills of Scotland, some sleet and snow is likely, as is often the case in December. Further details will be available closer to the time.”
