A messy setup out there in the SE currently. Sleet mostly in Kent but I suspect snow is falling with favourable heights. Unlikely to settle with the amount of rain falling and dew points not ideal.

@aidanmcgivern.bsky.social evening Aidan, just watched the @metoffice.gov.uk deep dive released today. Great watch, excellent imagery shown and a balanced review of Thursdays snowy event with a brief look at Sundays potential battle with milder vs cooler scenario. All eyes firmly fixed on Fri dive.

metoffice playing silly buggers with their app again. At no point today have they forecast and rain or snow in Ashford. And yet 1 hour after snow passes through they sling on a snow symbol 🤣🤣🤣

Just putting the Christmas decorations away and saw this item striking a lonely figure. Not been used in the 9 years since I bought it for my son in the hope one day he may get to slide along on it 😂😂

I wonder the Met Office will ever sort their App out. Here I am shown I am in a yellow area for possible snow showers overnight into the 2nd Jan. yet their app shows no sign for snow. No wonder people ignore things.

And that is the end of the chances of snow for SE UK on Xmas day. Even the GFS model has stopped the colder blob of air getting in. Stays in northern France.

Whilst there remains a lot of uncertainty, a deep area of low pressure may affect parts of the UK on Wednesday night and Thursday.
Strong, perhaps damaging, winds and heavy rain, could bring some disruption. Stay up to date as we firm up on the details in the next few days.
