The weather outlook have updated there White Christmas forecast Christmas 2012: Possibly cold Forecast - Third update This latest update remains makes no change to the prospects of a White Christmas, suggesting a slightly higher than average chance of a White Christmas across all of the country, but that means the most likely outcome is for it to be green. There are signs of northern blocking developing during the autumn months according to some long range forecasting models, and if that turns out to be correct then expect subsequent forecasts to increase the chances of snow on December 25th. The September weather patterns are starting to become clearer, and one factor to look for in the next few weeks is whether anticyclonic conditions tend to be dominant. Probabilities of snow falling on Christmas Day North of Yorkshire / Lancashire: 25% South of Yorkshire / Lancashire: 20% http://www.theweatheroutlook.com/forecast/Christmas-weather-forecast

A number of amber alerts are now in force for heavy rain and strong winds on Monday Central, Tayside & Fife SW Scotland, Lothian Borders Northern Ireland North East England Yorkshire & Humber South West England London & South East England Issued at: 1350 on Sun 23 Sep 2012 Valid from: 0005 on Mon 24 Sep 2012 Valid to: 2359 on Mon 24 Sep 2012 Prolonged periods of heavy rain are likely to occur across parts of northeast England and southeast Scotland during Monday. In addition to the heavy rain winds will increase to gale force, with gusts to severe gale force, particularly over high ground. The public should be prepared for an increased risk of both surface water and river flooding during this period. Flooding issues may be exacerbated in places by drainage impeded by debris, for example leaves and small branches blown from trees. Areas under the amber alert can expect to see 30mm to 50mm of rain with 60mm to 80mm possible in places 60mph easterly gales are also likely to develop for some parts http://www.metoffice...ather/warnings/ Widespread yellow alerts and 1 amber alert is in force for early Tuesday Issued at: 1421 on Sun 23 Sep 2012 Valid from: 1500 on Mon 24 Sep 2012 Valid to: 0600 on Tue 25 Sep 2012 An area of rain, some of it heavy, will spread across Northern Ireland on Monday afternoon and will persist through into Tuesday morning. This rain will be accompanied by strong to gale winds, blowing from between east and north. The public should be aware that the heavy rain could cause localised flooding. http://www.metoffice...ather/warnings/

Flood Fears As Rain Washes Away September Sun Torrential rain will signal an abrupt end to warm September sunshine in areas across the country with dozens of flood warnings likely to be issued. Up to 60mm of rainfall and 60mph winds are forecast over the next 36 hours, with heavy downpours expected in parts of the south west, northern England and Scotland. A number of flood alerts have been put out by the Environment Agency, which said further warnings were likely to be issued for river and surface water flooding elsewhere. The agency also urged people in the south west and south east to prepare for possible flooding before going to bed tonight. Sky News meteorologist Chris England said: "The change is already occurring and we're in for a rather wet, cool and windy end to the month, after a generally fine, warm three weeks. "Parts of the south had nearly an inch of rain on Sunday, after a very dry spell for much of the month, and it's fairly cold too, with temperatures in the rain only just getting into double figures. "It'll stay wet over the next couple of days, with up to 40mm (1.5in) likely in many areas and more than 50mm (2in) in some parts. That'll be more rain than many areas have had so far this month and could well lead to some local flooding. "It'll stay windy too, especially in the east, and with gusts up to 60mph there's a risk to high sided vehicles." David Jordan, the Environment Agency's director of operations, said flooding was expected across the country from Sunday night until Tuesday. "We strongly urge people to sign up to flood warnings, keep a close eye on local weather forecasts and be prepared for the possibility of flooding," he said. "We also ask that people stay safe, by staying away from swollen rivers and not attempting to drive through floodwater." Forecasters say the worst of the weather is likely to have settled down in the south in time for the weekend. http://news.sky.com/story/988615/flood-fears-as-rain-washes-away-september-sun
