While temperatures remain unusually warm this week, a snow bombshell is expected after Christmas with more expected before the end of the season.

Freezing temperatures are expected on December 27, The Mirror reports, with Netweather.tv stating that there is “potential for some snow” due to wet weather and winds heading in from the southwest.

If the storm’s central pressure intensifies by 24 millibars in 24 hours, it will earn the nickname “weather bomb” that, in conjunction with the snowfall, could trigger an outbreak of winter rain.

Netweather.tv said: “Confidence is lower in this period but there is a higher chance of cooler weather heading from the east sometime during this period as higher pressure shifts north, likely towards Scandinavia.

“So there is a possibility of some snowfall, but it is not certain, as a lot depends on the details of the wind direction and the extent of cold air masses over the nearby continent.”
