persistent rain slowly pushes its way northwards — some thundery bursts of rain perhaps on it as we head into the afternoon — but it brightens up in the south — quite windy, though, strong south—westerly winds. to the north of this rain band, it's sunny spells, scattered showers. there will be wintry elements over the hills and it will be chillier in the north, ranging from around it to maybe 13 degrees in the south. that milder air will push northwards behind the rain band. but as this rain band pushes into the cold down the north, you'll likely see some transient snow in the north pennines. the southern uplands will see some significant snowfall, i think, across parts of the highlands and the grampians. it will be quite a wet start to christmas eve here. but further south, generally dry and relatively mild. so, for christmas eve itself, it's going to be pretty wet and quite windy across scotland. further snow in the hills. but as the milder air in the south pushes northwards, it'll revert back to rain and we'll see sunny spells, scattered showers — most of the showers southern and western areas. the winds will be strongest around the irish sea coast and up to 12 or 13 degrees in the south, seven or eight degrees in the north. as we move out of christmas eve into christmas day, similar story — we're in a run

of south—westerly winds, sunshine and showers. could see some rain, but that weather front scrapes the south—east through the day. and then, this weather front spreading south eastwards into boxing day will introduce a line of showers but also, more crucially, a spell of colder air which will move south across the country, and that'll bring a mixture of sunny spells and wintry showers, particularly in the north—west corner of the country. but you will see that the cold spell is short—lived as we move out of boxing day and beyond. it's likely those temperatures will be rising above the seasonal norm. don't forget, you can see detailed weather forecast for where you are and where you're going by checking out the bbc weather app.
