That's despite no white-Christmas predicted
Forecasters say there could be snowfall on Dartmoor on Christmas Day, despite predicting it won't be declaring a white-Christmas.
Exeter's Met Office says there's "a very small chance" of snow falling over the Devon moor as rain showers pish into parts of the county.
Temperatures are expected to fall as low at -1 celcius on Thursday with highs reaching 5 celcius.
Easterly winds are also expected to cause big waves for swimmers.
Meteorologist Becky Mitchell said: "It will turn colder from Christmas Eve, with a strong wind across much of England and Wales, so temperatures on the thermometer will be a little bit below average: around 6C or 7C as a max, generally.
"And then, when you add on that wind chill of an easterly wind, it will probably feel more like freezing from Christmas Eve onwards."
Ms Mitchell said clouds could accumulate in some southern counties on Boxing Day but elsewhere would remain largely dry with sunny spells.
She continued: "It's a bit colder than average, not unusual for the time of year, but in terms of averages it would be a bit below.
"The weather's all very similar really, out towards New Year's Eve. The Christmas period is quite a nice forecast."
