Despite some optimism on the MO thread the latest update is shocking and goes along with the latest ECM 32 dayer. With both writing off cold hopes until late Jan now. Talk of Jan cold spells is v optimistic at best at the moment. If we do get one the met have got it badly wrong.
6th Jan to 20th Jan
Current indications are that the very unsettled weather that is expected to dominate into the New Year. Spells of mild, wet and windy weather are likely to alternate with brighter, colder, showery periods, though the risk of any significant snow or prolonged wintry weather looks low except on high ground in the north. Further into January, the most probable scenario is for the unsettled conditions to ease somewhat with a greater chance of drier weather, whilst frost becomes a little more likely.
