The Met Offfice says: ‘It is likely to remain settled for the final week of 2021, with an increasing risk of frost and fog for Christmas and New Year. Any unsettled spells are most likely for the northwest, with occasional stronger winds, and some showers or longer spells of rain.

‘Temperatures are expected to be around average, but milder in the north, and colder in the south at times, where frost is most likely.

‘Heading deeper into January there is expected to be a gradual shift towards more changeable conditions, especially in the northwest, and turning milder again too.’
