Threat of snow in Flintshire passes as Met Office reissues yellow weather warning

The Met Office has reissued a yellow alert for heavy rain and snow today, however, Flintshire looks to have dodged the weather system which is tracking east.

Initially, forecasters had said snow was possible on higher ground in the county but in an update this morning the warning has been lifted, parts east Cheshire could still be affected by possible snowfall.

Christmas Day

Hawarden was the warmest place in the UK on Christmas Day, temperatures reached 12.5ºC – slightly higher than the 12ºC recorded on Christmas Day 2016.

A little way short of the warmest Christmas day on record which was 15.6ºC at Killerton, Devon, in 1920.
