THOSE hoping for a white Christmas will be disappointed as forecasters predict dry and mild weather.
Bracknell is predicted to have sunny with cloudy conditions on Christmas Day with highs of 9c.
In the days leading up to the big event, the picture is looking mild with temperatures hovering around 11c and the forecast grey, overcast with drizzle.
At the time the News went to press, Boxing Day was forecast to be wet with rain showers forecast for the rest of Christmas week.
It comes as the Met Office said the UK has experienced a milder than average December.
Posting on X, formerly Twitter, the Met Office said: “Unusually mild air for December will arrive from the sub-tropical Atlantic.
“This will lift temperatures widely above average, giving exceptionally mild conditions, particularly in some central and northern areas.”
The Met Office is unsure when temperatures will drop back down.
Bracknell News Camera Club members have been out in force documenting the changing weather, see pictures.
