Chilly Christmas for Most with ‘Just a Chance’ of Snow in South, Met Office Says
The Met Office forecasts temperatures of 5 to 7C and a 10% chance of snow flurries on England's south coast, with most areas experiencing dry and chilly conditions.
- Met Office forecasters posted a December 21, 2025 update noting a chance of snowfall that could deliver the UK's first white Christmas in two years, with most people expecting a chilly Christmas Day.
- By Christmas Day, temperatures are expected to be no better than 5 to 7C, as Mr Petagna said the colder, drier pattern increases wintry chances for the far south of England.
- There is just a chance of one or two wintry flurries, with the south coast of England having a 10% chance of anything significant, though snow is unlikely to settle this year.
- Showers are expected to be sleet or wet snow rather than significant accumulations, while the UK's lowest recorded Christmas Day temperature was minus 18.3C in Gainford, Durham, in 1878.
- The forecaster noted that average temperatures no higher than 7C contrast with the 2023 white Christmas when only 11% of stations recorded falling snow.
