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
