The Met Office has released its long range forecast for December, and it goes all the way up to Christmas Day and beyond.

The big question on everyone’s lips is: Will there be any snow in London this Christmas?

“Overall, through this period it is expected to be unsettled and changeable with milder and wetter than average conditions for most, bringing a risk of stormy conditions.

“Perhaps turning more settled in southern regions for a time nearer the start of this period, which will increase the risk of frost and fog when skies clear overnight.

Temperatures on the milder side for much of this period, but some short lived colder spells are possible.”

Despite the potentially mild temperatures, bookmakers have slashed the odds of a White Christmas in the capital.

How does the rest of the week look in London?
