THE MET Office has forecasted a “White Christmas” full of snow showers – and revealed the areas with chances of heavy rain.
Forecasters say a change in weather is coming which could see some extreme weather conditions in several parts of England.

Annie Shuttleworth made her prediction in a 10-day trend video on the Met Office website.
She predicted heavy showers in areas of northern England and Scotland, but revealed Brits could expect clear conditions in the southern part of the country.
“There’s a clear trend: showers build in Scotland with heavy rain in North Western England and Scotland.
“But very little chances of rain – if any at all – in the south of England – through the weekend.
“High pressure dominating to the south and low pressure to the North.
“Southern areas staying largely dry – but don’t rule out rain from time to time.”
Meanwhile, Met Office forecasters have predicted “unsettled” weather leading to the weekend before Christmas.
While long-range forecasts are subject to change, the Met Office’s extended verdict suggests the potential for snow towards the year’s end in some regions.
It comes as Brits were warned of two days’ worth of yellow weather alerts this week after being battered by two storms.
The Met Office warned Storm Fergus would bring “strong winds and heavy rain” yesterday and today – just after Storm Elin battered the country with strong winds and downpours on Saturday.
Both storms, named by Irish Meteorological Service Met Éireann, saw bands of rain sweep across Wales, along with northwest England and southwest Scotland.
A whopping 1.5 inches of rain fell at Blencathra, in the Lake District, yesterday as much of England got a drenching.
