Are you dreaming of a white Christmas in Reading this year?

In that case, the MET Office might be granting your wish as the Christmas season approaches, and the temperatures drop.

Although it is difficult to forecast the weather in advance, the weather service has predicted that some wintery weather may be headed your way.

The flurry of snow and ice that has been appearing in areas of Berkshire throughout November gives us hope that it will return to give Reading residents that little touch of magic this Christmas.  

Although England very rarely experiences heavy snow, a white Christmas is defined as when there is more than one snowflake seen falling in a 24-hour period on December 25.

With global warming rising temperatures and Summer weather stretching into October, the harder it is to imagine the possibility of a White Christmas.

However, the temperatures coming into December seem to be taking a nose dive.

Will it be a White Christmas in Reading?

The MET Office explained that it’s hard to predict what the forecast will be next month but didn’t rule out the possibility of snow this festive season.

As temperatures plummet to -1 degress on some days the sportscasting.com/uk traders have priced up which UK areas are most likely to get a WHITE CHRISTMAS this year.

Reading comes in at 2/11 which means that there is a 15.38 percent probability that it will snow over Christmas.

London has an outside squeak at 7/1, but of the English areas it’s Newcastle and Sheffield at 6/4 that have the best chance of snow this Christmas, say the betting insiders. 

A weather expert said: He said: “It isn’t scientifically possible to determine the weather forecast for more than a week or so ahead. So, this far out, we can’t have any indication about whether a White Christmas is likely.

“Climatologically, cold snaps are becoming less frequent but they are still possible even in a warming climate.

“Most winters contain a period or two of colder conditions so snow is possible if we have much colder than normal influences from polar regions, for example.”
