How does the Met Office define a White Christmas?
The previous White Christmas definition was if snow fell at the Met Office in London, but this has since changed to a variety of stations across the UK.
'The definition that the Met Office uses to define a White Christmas is for one Snowflake to be observed falling in the 24 hours of 25th December,' according to the Met Office themselves.
The last time we saw widespread recordings of snow on the ground in the UK on Christmas Day was way back in 2010, so 12 years on it seems like we're due a bit of snowfall on Christmas Day.
The Met Office say that one snowflake to be observed falling in the 24 hours of 25th December officially makes it a White Christmas. This can be small or widespread, with the last widespread White Christmas back in 2010.
