Leading bookmaker Coral has slashed their odds on a White Christmas this year to 4-5 (from 2-1) as the outlook suggests temperatures are going to drop fast this Autumn, and the Met Office is advising people to prepare for a cold winter. Coral go 2-1 for this month to be the coldest October on record, while it is 6-4 for snow to fall in October.
“We are less than 100 days away from Christmas now, and with temperatures set to fall rapidly over the upcoming days, the early odds suggest we could be set for a White Christmas this year," said Coral’s John Hill.
“October could be a chilly one in the UK. Not only have we cut the odds on it ending as the coldest on record, but we are not ruling out snowfall,” added Hill.
