In another post, Madden stated: “Our several-month-ahead subscribers winter report and recent forecast indications for the ‘final days of December and early 2025’ are still highly set for a widespread snowy period on our current forecast indicators (around early next week starting 30 Dec, possibly slightly earlier).”
Meanwhile, Jim Dale, senior meteorologist and founder of British Weather Services, has issued a warning to New Year’s Eve party-goers to “keep their fingers on the pulse” due to the impending threat of “severe wind and snow” as 2024 draws to a close.

The ‘s preliminary forecast up to January 6 warns: “It seems possible that the rather settled conditions could return to some extent during the first week of the new year, at least in the south-western and western areas of the UK.
“By contrast, the rest of the country may see wetter and windier conditions. Temperatures could remain above average, following a brisk west to occasional north-westerly flow pattern. There is still a slight chance of colder spells making their way through at times, especially across Scotland where wintry precipitation seems likely.”
The added: “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.”
