There is a chance of colder air being drawn across the UK from the
east during the 3rd week of Christmas, but you are brave man for
having forecast it Will!
------------------------------
Which is why I think forecasts for over 5 days can only vaguely say things
like "colder and more settled". The current version in the charts of cold
is via a different route to the one a few days ago. I'm sure if the second
half of December is generally cold a certain JB will stretch his "mild
December except for the Christmas period" to being spot on with the
"Christmas Period" becoming anything after December 12th ! (Hopefully you
meant the 3rd week of December above, not Christmas, Paul)

Time to service or replace greenhouse heater, I guess. Warnings from
this NG get passed round the family. Very often turn out to be right, as
well, notably the strong winds last month - son stayed in on the
Saturday, and therefore knew roof covering had been blown off flat.
Thanks, all.



Footnote - I consider the Christmas period to be from December 24th to
December 30th at a push although I suspect retailers, the media and some
forecasters would take it as any time from November till February ;-(

with that! - italicised bit is the bass line.
