The says regarding December 27 to January 5: “Around the turn of the year, it looks more probable that colder, more showery conditions will likely make at least some ingress into northern and perhaps central areas, bringing a risk of some impacts from ice, sleet and snow.

“Widely mild at first, perhaps exceptionally so in some places, but temperatures probably return to nearer normal by early January. Throughout, any clearer spells overnight may lead to localised frost and fog.”

About January 6 until January 20, the forecaster added: “While drier than average conditions are likely for many areas, some precipitation is still expected, which could lead to wintry hazards at times.

“Temperatures are likely to be close to or a little above normal overall, but this could be made up of a mix of milder and colder interludes.”
