Birmingham weather: The exact days the city will experience a cold snap in the run-up to Christmas

Birmingham could experience a cold overnight snap in the lead-up to Christmas, according to a new forecast.

AccuWeather’s newest long-range forecast has indicated that the city appears set for four days of frigid overnight temperatures between Tuesday, December 16 and Friday, December 20.

The Met Office’s long-range forecast, which covers the period between Tuesday 16 December and Tuesday 30 December, predicted:

“There is a greater chance of spells of high pressure during this period, bringing more in the way of dry weather compared to the unsettled patterns we are likely to see through the first couple of weeks of December, which also increases the chances of overnight fog and frost.

There will probably still be some spells of rain, showers, and stronger winds though, especially in the west.

Hill snow is also a possibility, mainly in the north. Overall, near or slightly above average temperatures are most likely, though some colder spells are also possible, especially should any prolonged settled spells develop.”
