Will it snow in Liverpool this Christmas?

Although weather predictions are less reliable this far in advance, the Met Office's north west forecast suggests it is unlikely Liverpool will see a white Christmas this year.

The weather experts' long range weather forecast, from December 19 to January 2 states: "Conditions are most likely to be changeable through this period. Wetter and windier than average conditions are slightly more likely than normal, especially in the west and northwest.

"Temperatures are most likely to be near or above average overall, especially in the south and west. It is possible that there will be further colder interludes, but these are likely to be short lived at first. Perhaps a greater chance of a longer cold spell later in the period."
