A white Christmas exists right now on Tinto hill just 5 miles in the distance from me, a nice view from my back door.

I note the army have been sent in to parts of Cumbria to bolster flood defences in advance of more expected heavy and persistent rain later today and tomorrow. They are just waiting for the Environment Agency to arrive with the relevant equipment.
One of the guys was interviewed and I couldn't help noticing the really superb properties in the background. It would be a real tragedy if any of them were flooded. 60 to 100mm expected. We're still on track to have the mildest December ever - by some considerable margin in the CET area. Possibly 4 degrees above the previous record. We will see. |

Yes, some places look set to be flooded for the fourth time this month, there are currently dozens of troops in our village setting up flood defences. I was out walking the other day, two large iron victorian railway bridges have been swept away, one of them is lying in the river but the other one has just vanished. They're so sturdy it probably remained in one piece and just barrelled down the river taking out everything in its path.
Incidentally, yet another day with massive temperature differences between South and North. 14C over large swathes of England, to as low as -2C in Northern Scotland. link |

How very interesting. What you describe sounds very like "mammatus clouds".
Take a look - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammatus_cloud I have a truly wonderful, clear moonlit early hours Christmas morning here, the first full moon on Christmas Day itself since 1977, with a temperature right down to 3.9c.

I wouldn't fret too much. We have plenty of clouds all shapes 'n sizes most days here in UK. It's when you see clear blue sky you need to worry that something is wrong!

Temperature risen to 4c and windy. At least it's not as unseasonable as the 14c at uni - YUCK!

There seem to be hints of something much colder early in the New Year from some of the weather models but it's only a small chance at the moment.

Maybe with this recent bout of model vacillation at 10 days, the message is that normal winter weather will resume next month, with a bit of everything even down south... and if so, not before time! |

That is true but infact sunrise remains pretty static until the end of the month and into January, with it rising everyday at my location at the latest possible 8.11am until new year. The sunset is however the odd minute later each day now. It takes a bit of time before the days start to lengthen again significantly.
