The Met Office has predicted a wintry system will carry snow over the UK this coming January following a “typical” Christmas.<\/p>\n

The agency’s December forecast has so far followed as expected, with temperatures unseasonably mild and rain showers occasionally washing across the country.<\/p>\n

The week after Christmas will see conditions mirror those more typical of midwinter, with the mercury lowering towards zero and even below in some cases on December 26.<\/p>\n

Maps show snow following around the same time, but meteorologists aren’t expecting flurries until a few days later.<\/p>\n

Some Britons living in England and Scotland will ring in the new year under “wintry showers”.<\/p>\n

The Met Office long-range weather forecast for December 24 to January 2 predicts “fairly strong” winds will give way to a chill and snow in northern England.<\/p>\n

Much of the snow, the forecast states, will fall over higher land but occasionally dip to lower levels.<\/p>\n

The forecast states: “The festive period is set to see fairly typical conditions for the time of year, with the winds often fairly strong and from the west or northwest, bringing spells of rain interspersed with cooler and more showery conditions at times.<\/p>\n

“The coldest conditions are always more likely towards the north, where showers are likely to be wintry at times, with the snow mainly confined to the hills and mountains of Scotland, and perhaps the far north of England at times.”<\/p>\n
