Bookies go 6/1 that we see the hottest day of the year in the UK at some point in 2023
We're already half way through the first week of 2023 and bookies are giving a variety of specials around the weather throughout the year.
Weather betting has increased across the last few years with worries over climate change increasing the different weather outcomes that we usually see.
William Hill have a whole host of weather specials for 2023 including odds of 6/1 that we see the hottest day ever recorded take place at some point.
The current record for the hottest ever day recorded in the UK is at 40.3c which was hit last year in Coningsby in Lancashire on 19th July.
| Weather 2023 Specials | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Snow on Christmas Day | 4/6 | 60% |
| Hottest temperature 40.3c or above | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Snow on Easter Day | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Coldest temperature -27.3c or below | 20/1 | 4.8% |
| Snow on King Charles Coronation | 25/1 | 3.8% |
Snow on Easter has a 9% chance of happening whereas snow falling on King Charles Coronation, set for 6th May, has just a 3.8% chance of happening according to the odds.
Other specials include 4/6 that it snows on Christmas Day in 2023
The favourite in the betting market for the 2023 weather specials gives a 60% chance that it snows on Christmas Day later this year.
Snowfall was recorded in Scotland and Northern Ireland on Christmas Day last month so it was a 'technical' White Christmas according to the Met Office.
Snow hit the UK throughout December and a full White Christmas was anticipated but the weather eventually ended up being too mild.
Our 2023 specials blogs looks into a wide range of betting throughout the year

Specials that focus on the weather include 2/1 that we see 2023 being the warmest year on record globally and not just in the UK.
The hottest recorded heat was 56.7c way back in 1913 in Furnace Creek Ranch, CA, USA.
