In fact, according to BBC Weather, which takes the forecast from MeteoGroup, temperatures in London will not drop below 6C for the entire first two weeks of 2022.

The Met Office has also predicted a warm start to the year in the South East which will be dogged by occasional rain.

In a look ahead at the forecast for the country between January 5 and 14, a spokesperson said: "A cold and frosty start to the year, before rain spreads from the west. This rain may be heavy at times and could be preceded by a short period of snow, mainly in northern areas.

"Cloud and rain are likely to clear, leading to drier and brighter conditions further south and east. Generally windy for all, with the strongest winds accompanying the rain to the north and west.

"Overall, temperatures are expected to be near to or above average, although some temporary colder periods are likely.

"Through the later part of this period, a continuation of the rather changeable regime is expected with spells of wet and windy weather, however interspersed by drier, brighter periods."

The Met Office's long range national forecast from mid-January until the end of month predicts temperatures likely to remain "close of slightly above average".

A spokesperson added: Through the rest of January, a continuation of the rather changeable regime is expected with spells of wet and windy weather interspersed by drier, brighter periods.

"Temperatures are likely to remain close to or slightly above average due to a mixture of mild spells and shorter-lived colder periods.

"These shorter-lived colder periods may still allow for some snow, but this will typically fall over hills in the north.

"Towards the end of this period, there is a tentative sign of more settled spells developing, particularly across the south which would increase the chance of overnight frost and fog here."
