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.
Yet as we start the week the weather has taken a dramatic turn with a warm spell forecast for Monday, while the rest of the week will see much milder temperatures than what we’ve been experiencing lately. Instead of frost, ice and snow we can expect cloudier conditions and rain in the coming days.
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.
