UK weather: Met Office forecasts continued rain<\/h3>\n

Many Britons are expected to wake up next Monday to a glorious white Christmas as the Met Office revealed forecasters have a \u201chigh degree of confidence\u201d there would be snowfall over the festive period.<\/p>\n

This comes as the Met Office said there is a chance of “wintry showers” in northern areas at the end of this week and over the weekend. If the wintry showers persist into next week, there could be a dusting of snow on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

Grahame Madge, spokesperson for the Met Office, told The Mirror: “We are still one week away and the broad picture is that there will be colder air coming in from the North.<\/p>\n

“Where the uncertainty plays out is how far south that [cold air] will get. Some models show it coming down as far south as the Midlands.”<\/p>\n

But any snow is unlikely to settle, with little sign of a “widespread or severe” cold snap. He added: \u201cAre we likely to see snow fall in Central London next Monday? I’d say it’s very unlikely.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Met Office\u2019s verdict looks in line with the latest weather maps that shows most northern parts of the UK turning white on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

Maps from WXCharts show areas around Inverness, Dundee, Fort William and Portress caked with layers of snow. Around 17-18cm of snow will be seen in these areas on Christmas.<\/p>\n
