Sheffield weather: Met Office issues forecast that covers Christmas week
The Met Office has issued a forecast that covers Christmas week.
The government body says the weather will be unsettled and often windy until Friday this week, in Yorkshire and Humber, with a maximum temperature of 11 degrees.
The UK long range weather forecast from Friday until Sunday December 21 predicts a continuation of a similar pattern of weather: rain, occasionally heavy at times with drier interludes.
From Monday December 22 the Met Office forecasts changeable conditions across the UK.
It states: ‘Low pressure systems will probably dominate, meaning showers or longer spells of rain, heavy at times, for much of the UK and some hill snow in the north.
‘Periods of strong wind are also possible, especially around coasts. Some drier, more settled spells are possible but how long these last is very uncertain. ‘Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly above overall’.
