Birmingham Christmas Day 2023 weather forecast & latest odds of a White Christmas

As we look forward to Christmas in Birmingham, there is one question at the back of everyone’s mind - will it snow this year? 

The fabled “White Christmas” is something that almost everyone wishes for - but, unfortunately, it rarely happens in the UK. The last time we saw a White Christmas in Birmingham was 2010. This was when snow was widespread across the UK. The 2010 White Christmas was reported as extremely unusual. It was the coldest Christmas ever recorded in the UK.

The winter caused havoc for all across Birmingham with disruption across the region, affecting everything from transport to childcare, many schools were also forced to close. Before this disruptive winter, the UK hadn’t seen widespread snow like this since 1993.
