Weather conditions improving across the UK

It comes after parts of the UK experienced chilly temperatures and winds of 50-60mph (80-97km/h) on Saturday and Sunday, with the strongest gusts of 82mph recorded in South Uist in the Western Isles. It's reached.

But for those traveling today or Tuesday, the travel picture looks much simpler.

Heathrow had to cancel around 100 flights on Sunday due to the situation, but a spokesman said on Monday it was “business as usual”.

And National Rail reported no widespread problems, although there were some isolated problems on Monday.

Ferry customers are still being warned about ongoing disruptions to some routes in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Driving conditions have improved, but congestion is expected.

Last week the RAC predicted a record 29 million individual road trips in the lead up to Christmas, with almost seven million expected to occur in the next two days alone.

AA chief executive Edmund King said travel for the remainder of the festival period would run relatively smoothly, with delays at “the usual hotspots” such as the M25, M1 and M6.

Drivers were among those heading to supermarkets on Monday, which is expected to be the biggest food shopping day of the year, according to retail analyst Catherine Shuttleworth.

She said high street retailers were bracing for a “busy day” while supermarkets were trying to make money for people who were more “cautious” about eating out ahead of Christmas due to demands on household budgets.

Temperatures are expected to improve through the final days of Christmas, with some areas seeing sunshine, according to forecasters at BBC Weather.

Rain will fall in Northern Ireland and western Scotland on Monday afternoon, as well as western England and Wales. Snow is possible in the Scottish Hills and Pennines.

Skies will be mainly cloudy on Christmas Eve, but it's expected to be one of the mildest on record. Temperatures are expected to reach an average of 12C (54F) or 13C, with Christmas expected to be 11C or 12C.
