The Met Office has debunked the idea that Wales is to get a white Christmas this year, with the forecaster saying only the mountaintops will see a glistening of the white stuff. Temperatures have risen this week after days of freezing temperatures earlier this month which saw several ice and snow warnings.
After dropping to -8°C in parts, Wales is now back firmly in double digits as the hope of a white Christmas lessens. While there had been some reports that Wales could expect a 'snow burst', these have now been firmly debunked by meteorologists.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said that there is a "likelyhood over the next seven days that areas like Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons are more likely to see snow because of their higher elevation but at the moment there is nothing to suggest this will be widespread."
