The Met office has said there is a potential for snow for this Christmas but that it is more likely to be part of a wintry band of weather.

The UK weather forecaster predicts conditions to turn colder at the weekend with the Christmas period most likely to start with "a colder, showery, northerly airflow in situ across much of the country, perhaps with the exception of the far south, bringing some snowfall, mainly across hills in the north."

However there is still some uncertainty in the details of the forecast for Christmas Day - and the conditions for Powys make it looks like snow is unlikely in towns.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Chris Almond said: “On Christmas Day there’s a chance of showers almost anywhere, and across the high ground of Scotland in particular, these could fall as sleet and snow, which would technically make it a White Christmas, as we only need to see a single flake falling.

"However, for the majority of the UK it’s unlikely that we’ll see significant snow, but it will likely feel cold in a strong breeze.

“Beyond Christmas Day a westerly influence on the weather remains the most likely scenario, with further rain or showers and strong winds for many, and again mainly over the hills of Scotland, some sleet and snow is likely, as is often the case in December.  Further details will be available closer to the time.”
