Sheffield Weather Christmas: Bright, dry and sometimes sunny festive period for Steel City this weekend

After the freezing cold snap of last week and even the downpour of this Friday, the Met Office is predicting little chance of rain and milder temperatures across Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Here is a day by day forecast for your festive period in Sheffield:

Weather in Sheffield on Christmas Eve

December 24 is set to be a bright, mild, if gusty Saturday to reward everyone for getting through their pre-Chrimbo working week. Temperatures in Sheffield will hover around 6C during the day, with some wintery sun in the morning.

Light clouds will arrive from 2pm and there is even a chance of short showers at 9pm, but that should be the last of any rain for the festive weekend. It’s especially good news for anyone making use of a rare ‘Christmas Eve on Saturday’ to plan a big festive night, as it should remain dry and mild into the early hours of Christmas morning.

Weather in Sheffield on Christmas Day

The Met Office is not predicting a white Christmas for Sheffield. Instead, December 25 will likely be clouded over and blustery, with mild temperatures reaching highs of 9C and little chance of rain.

Weather in Sheffield on Boxing Day

December 24 will feel much chillier by comparison. Forecasters say an arctic wind will arrive and drive temperatures down to around 1C or even 0C by morning. It means Boxing Day will largely be cloudy and come with a biting blustery wind – but, again, little chance of rain or snow at least.
