It might just be a white Christmas this year.
The Met Office have suggested that Leeds and other parts of northern England should be in for snow this weekend after forecasting a white Christmas.
The weather forecast suggested over the weekend that we were in for a snowy Christmas Day, but this has since been pushed back to make way for high chances of rain.
According to Apple News, it won’t be until Boxing Day that snow hits the West Yorkshire region, despite expected temperatures 2 – 6 degrees. The 70% chance of snowfall is followed by a drop in temperature between Christmas and New Year.
Plenty of freezing and wet weather is expected over the next two weeks, so make sure you wrap up warm, grab those gloves before buying a sledge for Boxing Day.
At present, the temperatures and forecast over the Christmas period is as followed:
Monday 20 December: 10% chance of rain with temperatures of 2 – 5 degrees.
Tuesday 21 December: clouds with no rain expected, with temperatures of -1 – 4 degrees.
Wednesday 22 December: 70% chance of rain with temperatures of -2 – 4 degrees.
Thursday 23 December: 70% chance of rain with temperatures of 3- 9 degrees.
Friday 24 December: 80% chance of rain with temperatures of 5 – 8 degrees.
Saturday 25 December: formerly snow reported but now a 90% chance of rain with temperatures of 4 – 6 degrees.
Sunday 26 December: 70% chance of snow with temperatures of 2 – 6 degrees.
Monday 27 December: 50% chance of snow with temperatures of 0 – 4 degrees.
Tuesday 28 December: 60% chance of snow with temperatures of -1 – 3 degrees.
Wednesday 29 December: 40% chance of snow, with temperatures of -1 – 3 degrees.
