December has now arrived and unsurprisingly all eyes are now on the forecast for Christmas - will it or wont it be white? Despite the cold and
snowfall of the past week, the month ahead actually looks like it may gradually bring relatively milder weather our way. If anything, the Christmas period may end up more of a washout than a white-out.
Average conditions for December are daytime maxima of 6 or 7C (low 40's F) and overnight minima of 3 or 4C (high 30's F). A nightly groundfrost for all but coastal areas of the UK is common, with air frost for higher ground and sheltered spots.
Average rainfall totals for the month are around 70mm's (but some of this of course may fall as snow). This is the month that brings us the
shortest days with just an hour of sunshine rationed for most of u.
