A big change in the weather is on the way just in time for Christmasπ
After a mild and very wet December so far, it will turn colder and drier next week
Christmas card scenes of widespread lying snow, deep and crisp and even, are looking very unlikely. But the odd sleety shower is possible and it will certainly feel colder than we've been used to recently
Can certainly confirm it was more pleasant under 2025βs orange blob of high sunshine than the 2024 circle of dark grey gloom!
βοΈ 2025 is already the UKβs sunniest year on record, according to provisional Met Office statistics.
The UK recorded 1,622 hours of sunshine up until 15 December, beating its previous sunniest year set in 2003.
