For those set to travel over the Christmas period, it is important to consider the weather conditions.
The Met Office has said it will be a “wet and windy” run-up to the 25 December, with a number of yellow weather warnings in place.
Rain warnings are scheduled to come into force on Saturday and Christmas Eve across the west of Scotland, northwest England and Wales.
Warnings for wind have been issued for Sunday and into the early hours of Christmas Day, mainly in the north of Scotland and the northeast of England.
Gusts are expected to reach 60mph in the area near the Pennines, which the Met Office waned could disrupt transport networks.
The warning in the northeast of England comes into force on 8am Christmas Eve and lasts until 10pm. While in the north of Scotland the warnings are in place from 12pm on the 24th until 3am on the 25th.
“It’ll be a damp start to Christmas Day for many, though the best of any drier weather is likely in the afternoon as weather fronts gradually move to the south and east,” Steven Keates, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said.
“However, the far southeast may hold on to the persistent rain the longest through the day.”
Below is the Met Office’s extended forecast for the entire festive period…
