It will be mainly dry through the first week, with variable cloud but also sunny spells. By Friday 2nd January the first incursions are suggested, either wintry showers in eastern districts or more likely a spell of sleet and snow fringing southern coastal counties of England. During the second week the risk of risk of sleet or snow increases across southern and eastern Britain, with freshening easterly winds. It will feel raw in the south at first, and again later as the easterly winds again increase. Temperatures, generally below normal, with frosts both morning and night. Updated: 1129 on Wed 24 Dec 2008
