What happened: The Met Office states that a white Christmas means at least one snowflake must fall on 25 December at an official UK site. The chance of this happening varies each year.
Why it matters:
- Clarifies the official criteria for a white Christmas in the UK
- Affects public expectations and weather forecasts during the festive season
MNN Take: The Met Office uses a simple, measurable definition to determine a white Christmas, which helps provide clear and consistent weather information to the public.
