The Met Office has weather warnings for snow and ice in place up and down the country as Brits face an Arctic blast bringing heavy intense flurries over the coming days
While the Met Office has cast doubt on prospects of a white Christmas for most people, there’s a small chance that a smattering of snow may fall on Dartmoor, as afternoon rain showers push into parts of Devon and Cornwall on Christmas Day.

Last year was the UK’s warmest since records began, the Met Office has confirmed. The mean average temperature for the country across 2025 was 10.09C, beating the previous record of 10.03C set just three years earlier in 2022.
