After last week’s freezing weather conditions people have been hopeful that a white Christmas will be on the cards this weekend in Greater Manchester. Temperatures have plummeted recently with the mercury falling as low as -8C in some areas.
There is still a chance that we could see some snowfall over the festive period as it turns a little cooler again. According to the Met Office’s long range forecast from December 23 to January 1, it will “remain rather cold in the north” with “wintry showers” possible - so a white Christmas could happen.The Met Office said: “Early in the period and towards Christmas conditions are likely to be less cold than of late although a north south divide is expected to develop.
“Away from the north, any snow will likely stay confined to higher levels, with perhaps some low-level snow on the boundary of the divide. Towards New Year, there is potential for a more settled spell to bring overnight frosts and morning fog, before a trend towards changeable but probably more milder conditions.”
No chance. Earth's too warm. Wet Xmas instead. Let's go swimming.
