Global meteorologist Jim Dale has revealed the likelihood of snow this Christmas for major regions across the UK. Whilst Highland destinations Skye, Inverness and Glencoe are amongst the most likely to see snow this winter, Cornwall is the least likely, averaging just 7.4 days of snow each year.
The Wettest Regions Study for WhichBingo, also found that the nation is more likely to see unpredictable weather this winter as a result of the record-breaking temperatures experienced in June and July - with temperatures soaring over 40C back in July.
Looking forward, December itself contains the lowest number of daylight hours, with the 21st being the shortest day. As the angle of the Earth tilts away from the Sun it often bodes well for a concerted drop in temperatures, particularly if we experience the majority of winds from the northerly quarter, with northern parts of the UK almost always most at risk.
