Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Steven Keates said: ‘It’s a windy weekend for many, with some heavy rain expected too, especially in the west, with a number of weather warnings in force.
‘Low pressure to the north of the UK is chiefly responsible for this period of unsettled weather, with a number of weather fronts bringing periods of heavy and persistent rain, particularly in western Scotland and Wales through Saturday and into Sunday.
‘Those further east will generally see drier conditions through the weekend, though even here will see some showers at times.
‘Temperatures in the south will be very mild for the time of year, likely peaking at around 15°C in the far southeast on Saturday.’
Forecasters also gave an update on their prediction for weather conditions this weekend and for Christmas Day itself on Monday, December 25.
Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen said: ‘Christmas Day looks like being fairly unsettled in northern and western areas. Any showers in the north could be wintry with hail and thunder, but even here, any snow will be mainly on high ground.
‘The south of the country will see the best of the drier and brighter conditions. While temperatures will be near normal for the time of year it will be a windy day for many meaning it will feel colder.
‘Beyond Christmas Day further rain or showers and strong winds are likely for many, and again any sleet and snow will be mainly over the hills of Scotland, as is often the case in December.’
