Hello. It's been a mild but

thoroughly wet Christmas for some of

us, but things are turning more

interesting and more Christmassy out

there, as we get colder air into

Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts

of northern England. Over the past

few hours, some of the rain is

turned to snow in Cumbria, for

example, where for some of us it is

officially a white Christmas. It is

snowing in some Upland parts of

Scotland. Some wintry weather

overnight and perhaps some sleet and

wet snow in some low levels. At

least the heavy rain and gusty winds

are clearing from England, so

something calmer as the night goes

on, and as temperatures drop away

there will be some ice on untreated

surfaces in the morning in parts of

northern England and Scotland. This

area of rain and snow will be out

and there will be further wintry

showers hitting northern Scotland

during the day. Elsewhere, a lot of

fine, sunny weather, making a change

from recent days, but it will feel

cold, with single digit

temperatures. But then this area of

heavy rain coming into south-west

England and South Wales in the

afternoon. If you are going for a

walk, do it early. It spreads north

and east during the evening, some

snow developing on the western flank

and, as it goes east, still some

uncertainty on the detail, but if

you have travel plans on Wednesday,

keep an eye on that. A few wintry

showers for more than Scotland and

Northern Ireland but, for many on

Wednesday, a dry day with some

sunshine to be had. Widespread frost

on Wednesday night, a fine, chilly

day on Thursday. On Friday and the

weekend, it looks like it will be

milder again, but windy. Wintry

weather hazards ahead, keep

up-to-date with warnings online.
