A SUNNY and 'sedate' Christmas Day is in store for south Bucks but temperatures could be as low as minus 12 over the weekend in areas like Chesham.

No more snow is forecast for the Christmas weekend, although Bank Holiday Monday could herald some sleet, according to Hazlemere-based British Weather Services.

On Christmas Eve temperatures could be as low as minus four or minus five with a drop to minus six on Christmas Day.

Forecaster Jim Dale, from BWS, said: “I think we will see some sun on Christmas Day.

"It will be cold, frosty and sedate and broadly sunny and dry.

“The maximum temperature will be about minus two, so sub zero all day.

“Boxing Day will probably be even colder. Locally we could see minus 11 or 12.

“Perhaps in High Wycombe, in the valleys. But Chesham, Amersham is more likely to see those kind of temperatures.

"Amersham Hospital and that area is a well known cold spot up to Penn Street.”

High Wycombe town centre could be as low as minus eight degrees Celsius.

“It will be a nice natural freezer out there if anyone's got a turkey,” he joked.

The weather will change on Monday.

Mr Dale said: “Initially we may get some sleety snow, which could rapidly change to freezing rain. That's normal rain freezing on parts of the cold ground.

“That's a little warning of potential skid pan. The wind is going to pick up as well.

“From thereon in we can see things, not turning mild. It will be cloudy, cold, but not as cold as it has been.

“We need to look out in early January for a return of wintry stuff. But we're not expecting January to be as severe as December.”
