Bookies give odds of 4/5 that we see a White Christmas in the UK this year

The latest bookmaker odds make it odds on that we will see a White Christmas this year, with odds of 4/5 that it snows on Christmas Day somewhere in the UK.

The betting odds give a 55% chance that we see a White Christmas with December currently getting colder and colder each day.

Coral slashed the odds from 2/1 to 4/5 that we see snow on Christmas Day this year after a chilly last couple of months and those odds remain the same just 3 weeks before Christmas.

The last widespread White Christmas we had in the UK was back in 2010 with snow or sleet at 83% of the recording stations.

Odds still available for snow to fall in specific parts of the country this Christmas

Bookmakers are still offering odds on specific areas of the country to have snowfall on Christmas Day.

Glasgow and Edinburgh remain the outright favourites to see snow on Christmas Day with Scotland expected to have a chilly Christmas.

William Hill's market give odds on a whole host of locations around the UK to see snowfall and we're starting to see snow around the country this week.

Snowy showers up and down the country will arrive following the reported 'Beast from the East 2' coming from Norway according to the Met Office.

Snow on Christmas Day Odds Probability
Glasgow (Airport) 3/1 25.0%
Edinburgh (Airport) 3/1 25.0%
Newcastle (Airport) 4/1 20.0%
Belfast (Airport) 4/1 20.0%
Manchester (Airport) 4/1 20.0%
Liverpool (Airport) 5/1 16.7%
Birmingham (Airport) 5/1 16.7%
London (City Airport) 6/1 14.3%
Cardiff (Airport) 6/1 14.3%
Dublin (Airport) 6/1 14.3%

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.
