Will it be a White Christmas? Here is your weather report until Boxing Day for Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington

Those wanting a Christmas day stroll or a Boxing Day dip will be met with a drop in temperatures after a relatively mild weekend.

According to the Met Office, it will remain windy for many today (December 22), with further periods of rain likely to sweep in from the west, and some snow across Scotland.

It remains generally rather unsettled for the weekend before Christmas, with further Atlantic frontal systems bringing rain and strong winds to parts of the UK.

Rain will be heaviest in the west and northwest through the weekend, with any settling snow likely confined to northern Scotland on Friday night into Saturday morning. Central and eastern areas of the UK could remain mostly dry.

A yellow wind warning has been issued by the Met Office for the Yorkshire coast on Christmas Eve, find out more here.

Dave Hayter, Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist said: “Christmas Day will likely see a continuation of unsettled, mainly showery, weather in the northwest, including Northern Ireland. While the day may start damp in southern and central areas, that rain should clear into the English Channel through the evening.”

A White Christmas – which is defined by the Met Office as a single snowflake falling on Christmas Day – is likely in some areas of the UK, but not expected on the Yorkshire coast.
