December 26th 2023.
The balmy temperatures experienced this Christmas will be replaced by an overcast end to the month, according to forecasters. Despite the warm temperatures today, by December 27th a very different weather story will unfold.
Yellow weather warnings have been issued for many areas across the UK. In England, heavy rain is expected and could cause disruption on the roads and rails from Cornwall up to Carlisle. Wind warnings have been issued for Kent and in Wales, many areas have been warned to expect heavy rain. Scotland could see snow from Stirling to Wick, and the Met Office has warned that there is a small chance of flooding, disruption on the roads, and damage to properties. Northern Ireland is the only area that has not been issued a yellow weather warning for December 27th.
This came after a balmy Christmas Day for many in the UK, with temperatures reaching 12.4C. Some areas even saw a White Christmas, with Aviemore in the Cairngorms receiving a dusting of snow.
Meanwhile, it was nearly the hottest Christmas on record, with temperatures at Exeter Airport and East Malling reaching 13.2C, beating the previous record of 11.5C at Waddon in Croydon in 1983. The Met Office declared an official ‘White Christmas’ on Monday morning and announced the UK had recorded the highest daily minimum temperature for Christmas Day on record.
Forecaster Dan Stroud said: ‘We’re drawing our weather from the mid-Atlantic, which is typically a very warm direction for us.’
The festive week ahead is looking unsettled at times, so it is important to check the local weather warnings and stay up to date with the latest forecasts.
