Don’t we all dream of a white Christmas?
Apparently so, as in the past month alone, more than 632,000 people have turned to Google in search of a ‘white Christmas’ in the UK.
There’s little more special than waking up on December 25 to a white blanket covering everything you can see from your window.
But the chances of snow on Christmas day are getting lower, MET Office data suggests.
The chances have slipped below 13 per cent and will likely be extinct by the 2040s.
Mike Kendon from the MET Office (NCIC) explained: ‘The UK’s mild, maritime winters and influence of the Gulf Stream mean that traditional White Christmases have always been relatively uncommon in our climate.
‘But recent global warming has now made them even less likely than they were a few decades ago.’
There is, however, a way to guarantee snow on Christmas day – and you can book the experience for next Christmas.
